Prepops insitivus -insect - Prepops insitivus

Moved

Moved from Frass.
This should fix it. Also, it seems this species has shown this behavior before.

Frassed

Moved from ID Request.
To be replaced later.

Huh?

At the least this is a good behavior shot, showing that mirids can be opportunistic predators. Replaced later with...what?

I can explain

Originally the contributor uploaded an image containing a collage(montage ?) of many different insects seeking IDs for them all. That image was frassed as the contributor was going to separate the images. It seems they were, and rather than upload ALL new images, this one was replaced (as many of us would do). Therefore this image IS now the replacement mentioned.

An editor will probably comment, but

I believe that linking images of several different species this way makes it tough to place any of these nice photos in the Guide...

Images

Yes, the images shouldn't be linked. Also, multiple species shouldn't be in a single image collage.

Looks like

Looks like Prepops insitivus

Although I don't know if it is a predator. The guide says that its food host plant is Black Locust

Predator and prey

I thought it might be. Thank you for your reply. teddie
