⏿ Faces of nature - Scentless Plant Bugs [Rhopalidae]
Greetings to all the wanderers of the blockchain who visited my page!
Today in my blog is another insect that does not pose a threat to your crop!
Of course, if you do not grow cereals, which this insect the most likes to eat;)
Rhopalidae, or scentless plant bugs, are a family of true bugs. In older literature, the family is sometimes called "Corizidae". They differ from the related coreids in lacking well-developed scent glands. They are usually light-colored and smaller than the coreids. Some are very similar to the orsilline lygaeids, but can be distinguished by the numerous veins in the membrane of the hemelytra. They live principally on weeds, but a few (including the boxelder bug) are arboreal. All are plant feeders. The type genus for the family is: Rhopalus. Currently 18 genera and over 200 species of rhopalids are known. The oldest fossil rhopalids described are from the Middle Jurassic of Inner Mongolia, discovered from the Haifanggou Formation.
It can often be found next door to a person, as this bug prefers to spend the winter in the gaps of various dry buildings, verandas or sheds.
