    Very nice, can't say I ever seen this one before. That's what I love about macro: a whole new world so close to us. Specie created manually :) Posted 12 years ago

The Long Thin Plant Bug

An elongate grass bug with a longitudinal furrow between the eyes, this species is distinguished by the extremely long antennae (the 1st segment alone is almost as long as the head and pronotum combined) and very long, slender hind legs. The tarsi are all dark. Unlike Notostira elongata, the tibiae and 1st antennal segments are covered with short spinose hairs.
