Pilophorus perplexus Douglas & Scott, 1875
|
Pilophorus perplexus is a species of bug in the Miridae family. It can be found almost everywhere in Europe, (except for the Azores, Canary Islands, Cyprus, Iceland, Ireland, and Novaya Zemlya).[1]
Description
The adult of the species is brown in colour. It is 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in) long, and has silver-coloured bands on the forewings, which are hairy as well. In contrast to Pilophorus cinnamopterus, the forewings in this species are much duller. The species feed on aphids.[2]
