BISHOP'S MITRE Aelia acuminata
BISHOP'S MITRE Aelia acuminata (m, f) BISHOP'S MITRE Aelia acuminata (nymph)
- In the third photograph (scanned
from a transparency) a small Bishop's
Mitre Aelia acuminata nymph is seen on Wall Barley Hordeum
murinum,
a species of grass in which this common grassland bug often takes refuge. The
remaining illustrations are of adults. These bugs bear a close resemblance
to plant seeds.
- With thanks to Maurice Drake of Wellset Repro Ltd.: info@flipsideweb.co.uk for providing the scanned image of the nymph.
