Biology:Raxa
From HandWiki
Raxa is a genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae. Unlike most pyrrhocorids, members of this genus are predatory, rather than herbivorous.[1]
Examples
Raxa nishidai is the specialist predator of Melamphaus faber, a seed-feeding pyrrhocorid bug.[2] R. nishidai is found in West Java, Indonesia.[1]
Raxa collaris is found in Vietnam and Laos.[1]
