Mictis profana

Unknown.

Found throughout Australia.

Adults are approximately 25 millimetres long with a brown body and distinctive orange cross on the back. Nymphs have different orange markings depending on their stage of growth.

These insects can spray a smelly liquid at anything (or anyone) that threatens them.

We have photographed Crusader Bugs from October to February.
