Elongate grass bug top When I found my first grass bug it was a dead one, but I put it on Jungledragon anyway just to show the specie. Now I am happy that I have found a live one and managed to get some good pictures of it. It was sitting just 10 meter from the place I found the dead one a year ago. Is that coincidence or is that place a gras bug hospot? ;)<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Graswants (Megaloceroea recticornis) Geotagged,Megaloceroea recticornis,The Netherlands Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    Elongate grass bug For me I had seen only one of these grass bugs before I found this one. It is not alive anymore, but I still wanted to show how it looks like.<br /> <br /> Dutch name: Graswants (Megaloceroea recticornis)<br /> No wiki Geotagged,Megaloceroea recticornis,The Netherlands

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.
