Common Meadow Bug (Lygus pratensis) (1)

The common meadow bug (Lygus pratensis) can be found in most of Europe, in Africa, in Northern Asia [excluding China] and in the Indomalayan realm. This species prefers heaths, hedge rows and meadows.

This bug can only be reliable identified on the basis of fine details of the corium [the corium is the thickened, leathery, basal portion of an insect forewing]. They are visible only at high resolution.
