  1. It's similar to Psallus sp., but I'm not sure they live in Washington? Posted 3 years ago
    1. looks like another European import.... looks like it might be my day to find British bugs in Washington. I've got this one up over at BugGuide, maybe they can say definitively. They don't list P. ambigua - the only one they have that resembles it in color and pattern- as being out here, so I'm not sure. The one that is listed for BC and WA is light green. They also mention that the genus has been split up recently with some things being reassigned, so there may be other possibilities out here that I'm just not seeing yet.

      Edit -Yikes... just found the Oncotylina... I think this will be a job for the experts..

      1. I came upon Oncotylina too, lol. Yikes, indeed. I hope someone on BG can ID it! Posted 3 years ago
