Tiny Plant Bug - Anthocoris tomentosus
Creighton, Northern, Saskatchewan, Canada
July 2, 2010
Size: 3mm ish
I revisited the rolled up leaf and found this guy which might explain the nymph. I also found another adult and nymph of another species, plus a couple others that don't look like either these two. It looks like it was a nursery leaf kind of, if that makes sense. I will post the others later.
