Stictopleurus punctatonervosus is a bug from the family of glass wing bugs (Rhopalidae).
features
Stictopleurus punctatonervosus is, like all species of the tribe Rhopalini, medium-sized and elongated, but unlike most species of the tribe, it is only slightly hairy. The animals reach a body length of 7.0 to 8.5 mm. The transverse bulge in front of the pronotum is not raised, the puncturing of the pronotum is not interrupted in this area. The transverse furrows of the pronotum do not form closed rings towards the outer edges. The tip of the scutellum is narrowly rounded. The body is gray-brown to black, the abdomen ( abdomen ) often greenish. The sensor elements 1 to 3 have a black longitudinal line.
distribution and habitat
The Palearctic distribution area of this bug extends from Europe in the east to Siberia and Central Asia. In Europe the area of the species extends in a north-south direction from the south of Scandinavia to the northern Mediterranean area. Stictopleurus punctatonervosus is common in Germany south of the low mountain range and in Austria. It is largely absent in the northwestern German lowlands.
The species colonizes dry and warm, open habitats and is often found on nutrient-rich fallow land, on ruderal areas and on roadsides. She lives in the herb layer here .
Way of life
Stictopleurus punctatonervosus , like all glass wing bugs, is phytophagous . It sucks on various composite flowers (Asteraceae). The species overwinters as an imago and can be observed after hibernation from around the end of April and until the middle or end of October. In southern Central Europe, e.g. B. in southern Germany, two generations are probably formed per year.
