Mirid Plant Bug

Megalocoleus tanaceti

Description:

Insect. Pale yellow/green in colour

Habitat:

Feeding on Tansy

Notes:

The wildlife foraging on this patch of tansy was amazing. I think if I'd stayed here all day I would have kept finding more wildlife ... next time I'm back in Devon, I must pay another visit ...... and take a chair : )

Thank you for the ident bayucca ... I've found a British Bug reference website while looking up this bug from out your ident, which fingers crossed I may find helpful.

I guess the plant is Tanacetum vulgare, so the bug is Megalocoleus tanaceti, a Mirid plant bug. There are probably also tons of Miridae in the UK!
Please, verify!
