Notostira elongata

Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hemiptera
Suborder: Heteroptera
Family: Miridae
Genero: Notostira
Specie: elongata


The large and diverse insect family Miridae contains the plant bugs, leaf bugs, and grass bugs, and may also be known as capsid bugs. It is the largest family of true bugs belonging to the suborder Heteroptera, with over 10,000 known species and new ones constantly being described. They are small, terrestrial insects, usually oval-shaped or elongate and measuring less than 12 mm in length. Some are brightly colored, others drab or dark. Some genera are ant mimics at certain stages of life. Most of the more well-known mirids have received attention because they are agricultural pests. They pierce plant tissues and feed on the juices.

Some mirid species:

Lygus bugs (Lygus spp.), including the tarnished and western tarnished plant bugs, are serious pests in the cotton, strawberry, and alfalfa industries.
Apple dimpling bug (Campylomma liebknechti) damages apple blossoms and small growing fruits.
Honeylocust plant bug (Diaphnocoris chlorionis) damages foliage on honeylocust trees.
Green mirid (Creontiades dilutus) damages many types of field crops.
Potato mirid (Calocoris norvegicus) is a noted pest of potato and clover plants in New Zealand.
Deraeocoris nebulosus prefers other insects to plants in its diet, and has been used as a biocontrol agent against mites and scale insects.

Hola Jose Ramon.

Parece mentira que circule tanto chinche, a los de las huertas no les hacen ninguna gracia, como le pasa a mi padre que el otro dia paso el sulfato y no dejo uno para la camara.

Saludos.
