The
vernacular name of the Juniper Bug Cyphosthesus
tristriatus refers principally to its
original foodplant in the UK where native Juniper Juniperus
sp. has declined significantly. However, this shieldbug
has adapted its diet to include Lawson (or Lawson’s) Cypress
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana
and other related coniferous species that have been introduced to many gardens
and parks and it is a common insect. The rufous markings are distinctively ‘v’
shaped.
