Graphosoma lineatum
The striped bug is a colorful bug from the family pentatomids, with aposematic coloration to warn predators of its bad taste. It measures 9 to 11 mm.
It feeds on vegetable juices and is often found in clusters on inflorescences of plants of the Compositae family, or Umbelliferae. He lives in sunny sites, located below 2000 m altitude.
