First recorded in the 1970s, this bug is probably native to the USA. It feeds solely on Rhododendron and is now well-established in southern and central Britain at least.

The structure and markings are distinctive; note the black pronotum and white collar, as well as the antennal pattern. The eyes are placed relatively far forward.
