| Lygocoris
rugicollis Family: Miridae Lygocoris species can be distinguished from similar green bugs by the very fine and inconspicuous pale brown tibial spines and at high magnification, the break in the keel between the eyes. The pronotum is rather straight-sided. In L. rugicollis the pronotum is strongly wrinkled and the entire upper surface lacks obvious hairs. The side margins are often yellow. Widely scattered throughout the UK, found on sallows and other Salix species, and may be easily confused with Orthotylus marginalis. Compare: O. marginalis, Lygocoris pabulinis, Apolygus sp Adult: May-October Length 5.5-7.0 mm |
