The harlequin bug

Publié le 4 novembre 2020 par Raymond Conus

The Italian graphosome or harlequin bug (Graphosoma italicum) is a species of heteropterous insects of the family Pentatomidae, the subfamily Podopinae and the genus Graphosoma. (Phew!). It is an insect of the hot and sunny areas of Europe frequent, sometimes in large numbers, on the umbels of Apiaceae. Its natural habitat is wasteland, wasteland, dry lawns, the embankment of roads, living hedges and gardens which offer wild carrots, fennels, angelica, blue thistles or parsnips from which it sucks the sap. or young seeds in formation with its rostrum. This species of bug is therefore strictly vegetarian. The eggs are deposited in groups on the leaves of umbelliferae, this is also where the larvae will develop. It does not fear predation by birds because they have a repulsive taste and aposematic coloring: they have very visible red and black bands.
