Rhynocoris annulatus looking for prey
Species of this genus are noted for providing parental care of offspring. Parental care is unusual in subsocial insects, having only evolved six times in the Heteroptera . R. tristis for example, is well known for guarding egg masses.[3]
Rhynocoris kumarii is known to prey upon the larvae of Euproctis fraterna (Moore).[4]
