I'd literally just been looking these guys up as have been taking some pictures of early instars that I was struggling to id. What do you think of this little fella? Coreus marginatus or syromastes rhombeus I think..........Whatever they're super cool bugs :)
Thanks, that would be lovely......don't want to waste their time with my perfectionist labelling though so only if you think it wouldn't bother them and just be a quick query. I don't neeeed to know the species - it's just nice to!
The person I mean is specialized in Heteroptera. If you have more photos of this suborder then let me know (I better send him a few pictures all at once than many e-mails with one single picture). However it is not always easy to determine a species by watching a photo only ...
Yes, especially when these guys are so tricky to photograph. Really I feel it's a bit of a trivial query to bother someone with and I don't want to put you out. I'm fine with getting it down to family:) Here's my other picture - though another contact seems pretty sure this one is Coreus marginatus.
Curses. Yes. Should have been Hemiptera!

Hm ... that's still a nymph ... thus the species is not easy to determine. I could forward the picture to a specialist though ...
