Apolygus - simplified
Apolygus is a tricky genus, but the impact of a new paper (if widely accepted) simplifies things. As a confirmed taxonomic lumper, I approve! - ajcarthropoda.blogspot.com/2026/03/apol...

Picked up Norway Spruce cones hoping for moths later but had a few of these bugs emerge. Gastrodes abietum. Very flat to fit under cone scales. Impressive front legs. Beautiful colours. #hemiptera.

A flower bug on Box from Retford cemetery this weekend. I thought Anthocoris nemoralis, but A butleri has also been suggested. Any insights welcome!

Arocatus longiceps / roeselii recorded in SE Hants this morning. The red and black bug was found dead in a spider web. Record is NFG (New For Garden)
NFG #bug #Hemiptera this morning, removed from a spider web in the #gardenwildlife whilst sorting moth trap: Arocatus longiceps / roeselii Not aware of any local London Plane .. so perhaps more likely the latter? Have agg. on #iRecord (or are they being treated as a single species now?)
First true bug of the year, a seed bug of some sort. Flew straight into my face. I had to get them under the microscope. Cute colorful goober. #InverteFest2026 #TrueBugTuesday #Hemiptera #NativeSpecies #Herbivore #Mississippi #Orange #Yellow #Cute #Bugsky

This rather adorable Pebblebug (tribe Lipocalliini) visited our Perth Hills moth light this week. These guys are a type of planthopper (Fulgoromorpha) and can be found around Australia

Kleidocerys resedae, a rust-coloured bug, standing on a lichen-clad fence.
There were plenty of Birch Catkin Bugs (Kleidocerys resedae) emerging from their winter hiding places this weekend.

Please keep a look out for Anthocoris visci later in the year.
I have a feeling I can't find it in VC55 is because I can't find Cacopsylla visci.

Egg cases
A friend passed me these empty eggs cases to identify, found on Oakmoss, Evernia prunastri. Shieldbug eggs I think, but too small for Green Shieldbug. Any guesses? No species particularly associated with lichens as far as I'm aware?
