Bodenheimer (Animal Life in Palestine, 1935) has this to say:
The yellow-brown Wheat-bug or "ssuni", (Eurygaster integriceps) develops on the milky grains of wheat in April/May. Though it is an important pest in parts of Syria and Turkey, it never gains any economic importance in Palestine because of the diminished rains in April and May, during which months the rains never reach 20mm. Its congener, the similar E. maurus, lives on Composites through out the summer.
From Wikipedia: Scutelleridae are otherwise known as shield-backed bugs, a reference to the fact that their shield is continuous, not divided. Because bugs in this family are usually brightly colored, they are also known as Jewel bugs. These insects feed on plant juices, and are closely related to stink bugs.
