Another Lygus Bug - Taylorilygus apicalis

Norfolk, Virginia, USA
October 21, 2007
Size: 4mm

I could not get a good close up of the unusual eyes. This bug is hard to see as it is so small.

May not be Lygus.

Mirid, yes, but this may not be in the genus Lygus. Looks too narrow and delicate from this angle. Please downgrade to family page. Thank you.

Thanks

for the correction Eric. I moved it.
