Calliphara excellens is a jewel bug in the family Scutelleridae. It is distributed in Nepal and India.[1] Males engage in ritualistic Courtship display, walking around the female, touching his abdomen to the plant before touching the female's antennae. After mating, the female oviposits into the seed of a host plant, such as Macaranga tanarius. [2]
