Slender Rice Bug

They are a serious pest of rice and can reduce yield by as much as 30%. The main symptom associated with damage is the presence of unfilled grains. Rice bug adults and nymphs have piercing-sucking mouthparts and feed by sucking fluid from florets and soft grains.

Habitat:

Backyard, spotted on weed's leaf.
