Drymus brunneus Family: Lygaeidae This genus has a distinctively-shaped pronotum and the front femur has one larger tooth and several small ones (although Eremocoris and some others are similar). Within the genus, it can be distinguished by the great width of the forewings across the middle of the abdomen, the brownish (rather than black) legs, and the brown posterior part of the pronotum. Often found in damper habitats than D. sylvaticus, where it feeds on mosses and fungi. Compare D. sylvaticus Adult: All year Length 4-5 mm
