Beautiful! I'd put it on my desktop if it weren't vertical.

hi!! i rescued this little fella from the sink this morning and my mom and i really want to know what he is! we were in southern vermont this weekend, near the new york border if that helps with id

Hello! Looks like an alfalfa plant bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus. Normally their colors are a bit more washed out than this.

Alfalfa Plant Bug - Adelphocoris lineolatus

Here for showcase is another new insect found during a night time search. It’s certainly easy to spot insects when they come towards a light source (the porch lights in this case) and makes them much easier to photograph too! There are many theories and idea to why insects are drawn to light, but nothing is absolutely certain; it’s probably a number of reasons, especially given all the different insect varieties out there. Usually, I find Moths, Brown Lacewings, and the odd Masked Hunter lingering around the lightbulbs (the latter hunting the stragglers), but in this instance, this curious green Hemipteran was found. Days later, this specie was then found again in daylight in the grass; it then flew to a pine tree for safety.

You eyes might deceive you, but rest assured, this is not the Two-Spotted Grass Bug, although they do look very similar. The former has more pronounced spots on its thorax and dark markings on its shell, while this specie has more smudged markings across its shell. They have differences in their legs and antennae too, so examine closely to tell the two apart (I admittedly confused them for each other once or twice - I’m still trying to identify some green colored larvae). As their name suggests, this insect loves alfalfa plants, especially feasting on the innards of the flowers themselves rather than the stalk! Both nymphs and adults participate in this feeding habit and aggregations can be a massive destructive force across crops. The cooler climate of North America has allowed this specie to proliferate greatly and expand its range compared to its original habitats across Africa and Europe.

Two-Spotted Grass Bug - Stenotus binotatus

This year I found a few Bugs roaming around the front and back yards that look quite similar to each other. Naturally, when this happens, it can make identification a little bit messy, especially when they are so similar to one another. The insects in questions were this bug, the Two-Spotted Grass Bug and the Alfalfa Plant Bug (Adelphocoris lineolatus - will be explored in a future post), both of which are closely related until having to file them into separate genera. They are quite similar, even having similar body colors and patterning on their wings, though one has more saturated colors than the other. They even overlap in their active seasons, that latter being active more months of the year. Carefully observe and identify your finds. Look for any distinguishing characteristics from any angle you have available. 

Once an insect is properly identified, the rest is simple: confirm it and then get to researching and continue to observe/find more individuals. For this insect, the name doesn’t get any simpler than this: a green True Bug adorned by patterning that features 2 prominent black spots on the thorax. It can be found in grassy areas where it can find all the grass it can stick its rostrum into. Unlike Grasshoppers however, since this bug lacks mandibles to feed on a blade of grass, it instead must feed on the flowers of grass (or other plants), or it can apparently target larger plants such as wheat or corn. I haven’t researched this insect enough to know how much of an impact it may have as a pest, but I’ll certainly aim to cover that in the next post featuring this specie. It could be worse I suppose; the Four-Lined Plant Bug, a related insect is far more corrosive to the plants it feeds on. It looks quite similar to this Bug too, but is clearly distinguishable.

*Note: If you’re going to look for this insect, reports say they are active between May - July. Look into grassy fields, you might get lucky,
