Calocoris
roseomaculatus Family: Miridae A beautifully marked bug found locally throughout Britain in dry grasslands, where both adults and larve feed on a range of legumes such as bird's foot trefoil, restharrow, salad burnet and kidney vetch. The rosy patches on the forewings are characteristic, with the pale scutellum bisected by a dark line. The head, pronotum and legs may also be rose-tinged and the 2nd antennal segment is shorter than the 3rd and 4th combined. Compare: Closterotomus norwegicus Adult: June - October (mainly June-August) Length 6-8 mm |
