Charagochilus
gyllenhalii Family: Miridae Charogochilus species are small dark plant bugs which are covered in scale-like golden pubescence. The wing membrane is often strongly curved downwards and the tibial spines are very fine and pale. C. gyllenhalii is found widely across Britain on bedstraws Galium growing in open situations. The similar but very rare C. weberi is known from several southern woodland sites and is associated with Cow-wheat growing in shaded woods. The new generation of adults appears from mid-summer onwards and overwinters. Adult: All year Length ~3.5 mm |
