Capsid Bug

DateThu 2012-01-26

A capsid bug, probably Capsis ater (Hemiptera: Miridae). In the summer I often find these in long the grass climbing up and down the stalks.  The swelling at the outer end of the 2nd antennal segment is a characteristic of this species. This specimen shows more orange than the one in my earlier photo here.

Photos taken in Whiteknights Park, Reading University grounds, Reading, UK, on 2010-06-27.
