Chlamydatus pullus Family: Miridae This genus comprises five very small and almost entirely black bugs with rather broad hind femora. Halticus species are similar, but have longer antennae (> body length). The 2nd antennal segment in Chlamydatus is < head width. In C. pullus the forewings are entirely black and hind femora are dark with the tip pale. The hairs on the hind tibia arise from large black spots. In addition, the adults are always fully-winged. A widespread and common bug, though unobtrusive due to its size. Often found on sparsely vegetated ground, and particulaly associated with clovers and other legumes. Compare C. pulicarius, C. evanescens, C. saltitans, C. wilkinsoni Adult: June - September Length c2.5 mm |
