    Howdy,
    This is not P.prasina but a Carpocoris. Quite probably C.purpureipennis, but that species is near impossible to separate _reliably_ from C.pudicus on photographs (check genitalia!).

    Please remove/add tags accordingly, so it may be displayed in the correct galleries :o)     Posted 8 years ago
