| Macrotylus
paykulli Family: Miridae A distinctive genus comprising three rather parallel-sided grey-green species, characterised by a dense covering of coarse, dark hairs on the forewings and a striking wing membrane pattern. The tibial spines are fine and inconspicuous. M. paykulli is distinguished by its small size and the colour of the basal antennal segment, which is dark and mainly black. Found on Common Restharrow Ononis repens across much of Britain except for Scotland, often occuring abundantly on the host plant. Adult: May-September Length 3-4 mm |
