  1. Interesting Wikipedia text: found everywhere except Switzerland. The remark seems related to it not occurring in mountainous terrain. Posted 3 years ago
    1. German text from wikipedia.org:
      "Vorkommen und Lebensraum[Bearbeiten | Quelltext bearbeiten]
      Die Art kommt im westlichen Nordafrika sowie in Europa bis nach Russland vor. Auf den Britischen Inseln und im Norden Europas fehlt sie jedoch. Calocoris affinis kommt in den Mittelgebirgen häufiger vor als im Tiefland.[1]"

      1. No worries, I wasn't implying the ID is incorrect, instead the wikipedia text (in english) is likely outdated as several others have reported it in Switzerland. Posted 3 years ago
