Squash Bugs, Leaffooted Bugs (Coreidae).
Elongated oval brown bugs. The abdomen has a clear edge. They are herbivores. In other parts of the world (especially the tropics) there are many more species. These can be large and are called  Leaffooted bugs because the shins of the hind leg are often widened. Like the Leptoglossus occidentalis. But that bug isn't originally from Europe.

.. .   Dock leaf bug, brown squash bug (Coreus marginatus). Family: Squash bugs, Leaffooted bugs (Coreidae). A striking brown bug with a broad oval abdomen. It looks like the Arma custos. But it is easily recognized by the dark tips of the antennae. At the front of the head are two thorns between the antennae that almost touch each other with the points; these thorns don't occur in any other Squash bugs. It looks a lot like the Enoplops scapha. The dock leaf bug is a plant eater. He sucks the juices from plants and fruit. The picture was taken on May 5, 2010. It is sitting on the leaf of a berry bush. They prefer dock and knotweed. It can defend it selves by spreading a smelly brown liquid. Both nymphs and adults overwinter. Length 12 to 15 mm. Europe, North America. Foto's 5-5-2010, 29-4-2019, 16-5-2019.

..   Slender-horned Leatherbug (Ceraleptus lividus). Family: Squash bugs, Leaffooted bugs (Coreidae).  A brown bug with a black stripe over the eyes and a light border along the front wings.  Host plants: Fabaceae like clover, medick and vetch. Especially on sandy soil. Adult bugs overwinter and can be found throughout the year. Length 10-11.5 mm. Europe, Asia. Photos 18-5-2019.

..   Gonocerus acuteangulatus. Family: Squash bugs, Leaffooted bugs (Coreidae).  The adult bug is similar to the Dock leaf bug. But it has narrower abdomen. The pale legs are also slim. It has different foodplants. Adults can be found throughout the year. The adult bugs overwinter in leaf litter. Length 11 - 14 mm. Central Asia, Europe.  Originally in the Mediterranean. Photo 2-6-2011   Nymph: Photo 12-7-2010.

..   Coriomeris denticulatus. Family: Squash bugs, Leaffooted bugs (Coreidae).  A small brown squash bug. Pronotum, legs and antennae are bristly. On the side of the pronotum are spines. Food Plants: Fabaceae like black medic (Medicago lupulina), sweet clover (Melilotus), clovers. On calcareous or sandy soil, like here in the dunes. Adults can be found throughout the year. Length 7 - 9 mm. Europe.  Photos 19-5-2020.

.. .   Western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis). Family: Squash bugs, Leaffooted bugs (Coreidae).  Native in North America west of the Rocky Mountains. It has spread now to the east coast. In 1999, for the first time it was discovered in Europe in northern Italy and since that time it has spread in Europe. (France, Germany in 2006 Great Britain, Belgium, the Netherlands 2007)  The shins of the hind legs are widened. The top is reddish brown. In the middle of the elytra runs a small white zigzag nark (sometimes less visible)  The bug sucks seeds and flowers of signal trees. Mostly pine but also spruce like the Douglas fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii), white spruce (Picea glauca). In America it is a pest of conifer seed nurseries. In Europe, I think there are no problems.  It hibernates and is often found in hauses. My wife found this bug in the hallway. To my great joy, because this was the first time I saw it in real.  Length 15 to 20 mm. Foto's 26-10-2014.  German: Amerikanische Kiefern, Zapfenwanze. French: Punaise américaine du pin.

Assassin bugs (Reduviidae).
They are slender predatory bugs with a very small head and a solid, short, curved rostrum. They are all over the world and they often have striking (red) colours, like this  Rhynocoris spec, photographed in France. The Rhynocoris annulatus occurs in the Netherlands, but not in our garden.

... .    Empicoris culiciformis. Family: Assassin bugs (Reduviidae). A small predatory bug with long thin legs and antennae. It looks like a gnat. Legs and antennae with white and black rings (about the same size). There are two similar species in the Netherlands. Empicoris vagabundus is larger (5.7-7.5 mm) and has narrow black rings around legs and antennae. Empicoris baerensprungi has not only a spine but also a lump on the scutellum. (Detail photo) The adult bug overwinters (maybe also the eggs). Attics, stables, chicken coops, rotting tree trunks. Here in ivy on the wall. Length 3.7-5 mm. Europe, Asia, North Africa and North America. Photos 11-7-2016.

.. . Masked hunter (Reduvius personatus). Family: Assassin bugs (Reduviidae). A brown to black predatory bug. It looks a bit like a large predatory fly, for a large part of the forewings is transparent and the head is small. It hunts all kinds of insects. It don't feed on human bled, but it can bite in self-defence. (It hurts like a bee sting) It hunts at night and hides during the day. It is attracted to light and is also found in houses. (like the bug on the photo) The eggs overwinter. The nymph has sticky hairs. It covers it selves with dust, sand etc. It is well camouflaged. They are just like the adult bug predators. They hide to catch the prey. Length 15-18 mm. Native to Europe and North Asia. Now also in North and South America and Australia. Photos 7-7-2013.

Scentless Plant Bugs (Rhopalidae).
In many species, the corium (the thickened, leathery, basal portion of an insect forewing) is transparent. Plant foods. They are lacking well-developed scent glands. On the head ate two ocelli.

..   Chorosoma schillingii. Tribe Chorosomini. Family Scentless Plant Bugs (Rhopalidae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. A long, slender, tan-green to green bug, resembling the mirid grass bugs. The wings cover two thirds of the body. They feed on grasses and ripening seeds. In the Netherlands generally in the dunes and higher sandy soils. Length 13-16 mm. Europe, North Africa. The eggs overwinter on grasses. June - October. Photos 18-6-2017.

Rhopalus parumpunctatus. Tribe Rhopalini. Subfamily Rhopalinae. Family Scentless Plant Bugs (Rhopalidae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. A yellow-brown to reddish bug. On head, pronotum and scutellum iruns a thin pale line. The connexivum along the abdomen has sometimes black spots.  The adults hibernate.  Length: 6,2-7,5 mm.  Photo 7-7-2016.

.. .   Cinnamon Bug (Corizus hyoscyami). Tribe Rhopalini. Subfamily Rhopalinae. Family Scentless Plant Bugs (Rhopalidae).  A difference with the Firebug is that the Corizus hyoscyami  is black on its head. It is hairy and the wing membrane has much veins. You can find them on a range plants (like Verbascum). It prefers sandy areas with lots of sun.  Length 9 - 11 mm.  For predators it tastes not good. The adult bug overwinters. In May there are nymphs, which mature in September. So you see them all year. Photos 6-10-2012, 11-9-2016. In 2012 for the first time in our garden.

..    Stictopleurus abutilon. Tribe Rhopalini. Subfamily Rhopalinae. Family Scentless Plant Bugs (Rhopalidae).  For the first time in the garden. They were also rare in my area.

Pyrrhocoridae.
There are about 300 species, mainly in the tropics and subtropics. The bugs of this family are usually very brightly colored. They suck on plants, especially on seeds. Like plant bugs (Miridae), they don't have ocelli. An ocellus, plural ocelli is also called a simple eye or pigment pit. Many insects have three on their foreheads. They seem to distinguish light and dark. 

..   Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) Family Pyrrhocoridae. Not in our garden, but on about 200 m. from our home. Pyrrho-coris =  red insect. a-pterus = without wings. But they have brachypterous wings. Brachyptery means, that the wings are very reduced and non-functional. The can't fly. Occasionally there are long winged firebugs (macropteer).  They are strikingly red with a black head. Also striking are the black triangle and the two large black round spots. You often see them in dense groups near lime trees. They feed on the fallen leaves and seeds. They live also on other plants, but don't cause much damage. They also feed on dead insects and sometimes even living insects. The firebug is a plant eater, but it causes little damage. Sometimes there hundreds of firebugs on the same spot. Especially after a mild winter. Augustus - May. They overwinter in colonies. Palaearctic. Length 10 - 12 mm.  Photos 29-9-2015.       Firebug (P). Long-winged, macropterous. In 2024 I discovered this long-winged firebug in the garden. Probably from the place where I photographed them in 2015. Photo 23-9-2024

Pirate bugs (Anthocoridae).
Anthocoridae: Greek words anthos "flower" and Koris "bug. You can see they indeed regularly on flowers looking for prey, because they are predatory bugs. They are small, somewhat flat bugs. Often black or black with white and brown.

Subfamily Anthocorinae. Bugs from the subfamily Anthocorinae are mainly found in trees (leaves, bark), shrubs and herb layer.

.. .  Acompocoris alpinus. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs (Anthocoridae).  Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house.  The bug has brown glossy forewings and the dark membrane has whitish lines. These white marks are uncommon for the most bugs in this family. It looks like the Tetraphleps bicuspis. The legs are pale brown with a dark femur. The middle part of the second segment of the dark antenna of the females is lighter. In males, the entire antenna is dark. They feed on aphids, other small insects and live on conifers (pine and fir and larch), but this bug I found in a heather bush. Larvae are found in July and August. The whole year. The adult bugs overwinter under the bark. Length: 3 - 3,6 mmEurope. Photos 1-10-2015.

.. . .   Common flower bug (Anthocoris nemorum). Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs (Anthocoridae). It's a predatory bug. It feeds on  aphids, mites, insect eggs and other insects. It can also suck plant sap, but cannot live without insects.  The forewings are glossy. The scutellum. pronotum and head are black. The second and third segment, for the most part light brown with a dark top. The first and last segments are black. The adults hibernate. Length 3,5-4 mm.    Nymph Common flower bug (Anthocoris Nemorum) stadium 5

.. .   Anthocoris nemoralis. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. Anthocoris nemoralis is very similar to the in the Netherlands rarer Anthocoris butleri. Anthocoris butleri survives only as Buxus predator of the Psylla buxi. Adult bugs can also be found on other plants. In the dunes however are no boxwood plants nearby.  The forewings are compared with the Anthocoris nemorum darker and has a different pattern on the membrane. They are also less glossy in some places. The first antenna segment is dark. The second antenna segment is pale at the base. Length. 3,5 - 4 mm. The adults hibernate. Photos 31-3-2014.

.. .   Anthocoris confusus. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs (Anthocoridae).  Anthocoris confusus is similar to Anthocoris nemorum and Anthocoris nemoralis.  The lower part of the second antenna segment for the greatest part light brown. The front wings are darker than the Anthocoris nemorum. It also has a slightly different pattern on the membrane.'It's even more similar to the Anthocoris gallarumulmi. Anthocoris confusus lives in deciduous trees (Here in a shrub). Length. 3,5 - 4 mm. The adults hibernate. Photos 9-5-2014.

.. .   M acropteer 26-7-2017:    Temnostethus gracilis. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  Like the Orius it's a very small bug. A predator bug. They are usually (not always) brachypterous.  On the wings is a white spot. Furthermore, the body is dark. The shins and tarsus of the legs are light brown. Of the dark antenna is the second antenna segment partely light brown.  Length: 2 - 2,5 mm. All year. Photos 17-9-2013, 1-8-2017 .

.. .   Temnostethus pusillus. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  A black and brown to black bug. The antennae are black to dark brown. Also, the membrane is blackish with three white spots. On the elytra, beside the dark scutellum is a slight stain. They are often found on stems overgrown with moss and korstmosssen of deciduous trees such as ash and apple, but they are sometimes found on conifers. There they are looking for insects such as aphids, mealybugs and aphids. Lengh: 2.5 to 3.1 mm. The whole year. The adults overwinter. Europe, Turkey and Caucasus. Photos 20-7-2015.

..   Flower bug, Orius spec. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  This predator bug is similar to the Common flower bug but much smaller. I find both species on Common Ragwort. Fower bugs  are also used as biological pest control. Especially thrips. They also feed on spider mites and aphids, insect eggs and some times pollen..  Length: 2-3 mm. The adults hibernate.

..   Orius spec. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  Another Orius, than the above-depicted Orius. I had shakenout some faded flowers of butterfly bush. The antennae, legs, cumeus are palerer than other Orius. However, a generic name is again not possible. The following species live in the Netherlands: Orius flagellum (exotic), Orius horvathi, Orius laevigatus (exotic), Orius laticollis, Orius majusculus. Orius minutus, Orius niger, Orius vicinus.  Length: 2-3 mm. Photos 28-8-2015.

.. . .   Nymph Orius spec. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  These are the nymphs of Orius (different stages, instars), which also were in faded flowers of butterfly bush. Most likely they belong to the same species as the adult Orius. But that is not certain. One nymph I had overlooked until it stuck in my arm. It took a while, because I had to look for my camera. It itched about a week. Photos 28-8-2015.

Photo 21-7-2012: Nymph Flower bug (Orius spec) 5th instar. With its prey, a thrips.

Orius majusculus. Subfamily Anthocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  An Orius, which can be determined from a photograph. A common bug in the Netherlands. It is common on willows and various herbaceous plants. This Orius I found hempnettle. Length 2.5 - 3.1 mm. Europe, Asia, North-America. Photo 14-8-2016.

..   Buchananiella continua. Subfamily Xylocorinae. Family Pirate bugs ( Anthocoridae).  It is a predatory bug, probably especially on dust lice (Psocoptera). It is dark brown, sometimes reddish. Lower part of antenna segment 2 is pale. The dark membrane of the front wings has a pale edge. The legs are light yellow-brown. It lives in places with many dust lice such as compost heaps, conifers (pines), ivy, fallen leaves. Length: Between 2 and 3 mm. The adults overwinter. This one was still active in December. Originally tropicaly like tropical Africa, tropical America, but now it has settled in many places in Europe. Photos 18-12-2017.

Upper part of antenna segment 2 is dark, segments 3 and 4 are sometimes dark. A greyish membrane. Yellowish legs. It is rare in the Netherlands, but it spreads rapidly in a north-westerly direction. Found for the first time in 2007. It lives in places where there are also many dust lice such as conifers (pines), but also between barren leaves on fallen branches. This little bug was on an Euonymus. Length: 2.3-2.7 mm The adults overwinter. Europe, North Africa. Photos 7-4-2018.

Nabidae.
They are predatory bugs and look  like small bugs of the family Reduviidae.

.. . . .   Himacerus mirmicoides. Subfamily Nabinae. Damsel bugs (Nabidae). The adult bug is similar to a Himacerus apterus. But this bug has long antennae. The Himacerus mirmicoides its feelers are shorter or as long as the body. Usually they have short wings, but sometimes the wings are fully developed. They hibernate as adults. In July, August, you can find the larvae. Photos adult dark bug (female) May 24 2009. Light brown adult bug: August and September 2010. German:  Ameisensichelwanze.

..   Himacerus apterus. Subfamily Nabinae. Damsel bugs (Nabidae). Very young nymph 4-6-2016:    Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. In the dunes I saw this nymph Himacerus apterus. The differences with the nymph Himacerus mirmicoides are clear. It looks a lot more like the adult bug.  The eggs overwinter. The eggs are laid in late summer.  Length  8-11 mm. July - October. Europe, Asia. Photos 17-7-2014.

.. . . . .   Heath Damsel Bug (Nabis ericetorum). Subfamily Nabinae. Family Damsel bugs (Nabidae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. A bug with dark brown wings. The wings often just don't reach the end of the abdomen. They overwinter as an adult bug. You can find them on the heath. Length 6.5 - 7 mm. The whole year. Photos 20-4-2015, 21-4-2015.

.. .   Field Damsel Bug (Nabis Ferus). Subfamily Nabinae. Damsel bugs (Nabidae). Very similar to the Nabis pseudoferus. Difference: The genitals and the hairs at the apex of the corium.  They are both gray-brown in color and the pronotum is wider than long.  Length 8.9 mm. They feed on all kinds of insects and overwinter as adult wants between the fallen leaves. I found this Nabis on March 3 in a shell of a horse chestnut. On the first  photo there is also a rove beetle (stenus).  Eggs in May, June in the grass. Photos 3-3-2009. German:  Rotbeinige Baumwanze.

.. .   Nabis limbatus. Subfamily Nabinae. Damsel bugs (Nabidae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. This species has very small wings and is therefore difficult to distinguish from a nymph 5th instar. The last picture is of a nymph. It is not certain it's this species, but because it was found in the same place it is likely. The females have broad abdomen. The males are smaller. Similar species are the Nabis lineatus (The females are smaller and they are slightly larger) and the Nabis flavomarginatus, which has longer wings. The eggs overwinter. Length 7-9 mm. June - October. Central and Northern Europe. Photos 3-9-2013, 16-9-2013.

..   Nabis rugosus. Subfamily Nabinae. Damsel bugs (Nabidae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house.  A red  brown bug with pale brown wings. The forewings are often shorter than the abdomen. If they are longer, it is very similar to the Nabis ferus and the Nabis pseudoferus.  They overwinter as adult bug. In May, the eggs are laid on blades of grass.  Length 6,5 - 7,5 mm. The whole year. Europ, Central Asia. Photos 13-5-2014.

Stilt bugs (Berytidae).
Slender bugs, with long thin legs. The end of the thighs and antenna segments are often thickened.

The second antenna segment is very short. The end of the thigh is a little darker. The head is shorter than the pronotum. Berytinus minor looks like Berytinus ceassipes. At Berytinus ceassipes the end of thighs is much darker and the head and pronotum have about the same length. They feed on restharrow, clover. The adults overwinter. The whole year.  Length 5 - 7 mm. Photos 23-4-2014.

Flatbugs (Aradidae).
These are bugs with a broad flattened body with often a ribbed surface. They feed on fungi. To find a new food source they must be able to fly well. In the family are the genera Aradus, Mezira, Neuroctenus and Aneurus.

..    Aradus depressus. Family flatbugs (Aradidae). The Aradus depressus is distinguishable from relatives by the pale shoulders and the second and third antenna segment are about as long. They can be found under the loose bark of trees infested by fungi and feed on fungi. They can be found throughout the year. Both the larvae and the adults are overwintering. The bugs mate in the spring. Length 5 - 6 mm. Photos 10-6-2015. Europe.

Lace bugs (Tingidae).
lace bugs because the pronotum and forewings of the adult have a network of divided areas that resemble lace.

.. .   Derephysia foliacea. Family Lace bugs (Tingidae). Host: ivy.  You can find them all year. Length 3 - 3,5 mm. Europe, North-Afrika. Now it is also recorded from North America. Photos 29-7-2015, 29-6-2012.

Now it is found in gardens and parks (also increasingly on Rhododendron). Shiny whity, lacy wings with a dark spot. It resembles the native Stephanitis Oberti, which lives on rhododendron and bilberry, but which does not have a large rounded, dark-coloured pronotum. Eggs are laid along the midrib on the underside of the leaf. Especially the big Pieris japonica can be damaged by both the nymph and the adult wants. They damage the leaves by piercing them to suck the juices. Plants in full sun have the worst damage.  The eggs overwinter. June - October. Two generations. Length 3 - 4 mm. Photos 18-9-2012.

..   Acalypta parvula. Family Lace bugs (Tingidae). Not in the garden but in the dunes about 4 km from our house. I tried to photograph a 3 mm large Stygnocoris sabulosus which ran around. But I saw, when I looked at the picture, that there was also an Acalypta parvula (see small picture). Unfortunately no sharp picture. Oval in shape. Three keels on the pronotum. Dry habitats among moss. The adult bugs overwinter . Throughout the year. Length 1,6-2,5 mm. Europe. Photos 28-9-2016.
