another lovely lichen lover - Phytocoris nigricollis
San Marcos, Hays County, Texas, USA

Size: ~ 8 mm
This bug was collected on lichen encrusted branches of Texas persimmon. How artfully it blends in! I'd love to know the species. I wonder what it might feed on.

from M.D. Schwartz: "All Phytocoris are thought to be predators.
"...I will look though the collection, however, there are many undescribed spp., but this example might well have a name as it's so pretty."
