| Stenotus
binotatus Family: Miridae A distinctive although somewhat variable species, which is fairly large and roughly parallel-sided in shape. Males are generally yellow with extensive dark markings on the pronotum and forewings; females are greenish-yellow with the dark markings much reduced. Both sexes become more strongly marked and deeply coloured with age. Widespread and very common throughout much of Britain in a variety of dry grassland habitats, both nymphs and adults of this species feed mainly on the flowering heads of grasses. Compare: Grypocoris stysi, Adelphocoris lineolatus Adult: June-September Length 6-7 mm |
