Abstract
The shield bug Elasmuch grisea is common and easily accessible species in our country. Maternal guarding of eggs and immature offspring against enemies with typical defence behaviour can be well presented in inquiry-oriented school education focused on ethology.
There are described four basic female reactions against trespasser with respect of disturbtion intensity. Proposals of some simple indoor ethological observations and experiments in school insectaria are presented.
