Phylus
coryli
Family: Miridae
Phylus bugs are
fairly long and slender and all are partly predatory. There are three species in the UK,
which can be separated with some reliability by the colour of the head
and forewngs. Hostplant is also a useful aid to identification.
P. coryli is
common throughout the UK on hazel. The forewings vary from light brown
to black, with the cuneus usually slightly reddish.
Adult: June-August
Length 4.5-5.5 mm
