| Dictyla
convergens Family: Tingidae The ground colour of this species is pale yellow-brown, with several darker areas on the forewings. As in Physatocheila, the sides of the pronotum are distinctly down-turned and there are three keels on the on the pronotum. However, only the central keel reaches the head. Found widely but locally across the UK in a range of wetland habitats, D. convergens is associated with Water Forget-me-not Myosotis scorpioides, the only host-plant. The bug overwinters as an adult and there may be several generations a year, at least in southern England. Adult: All year Length 3.5-4.0 mm |
