Pentatomoidea (with shield bugs, burrower bugs, stink bugs,...) in the garden.
Information about bugs:
True bugs can be found both in and on water and on land. They also have a
sucking mouthparts known as a rostrum.
With this rostum they suck juices from all kinds. That can be plants and seeds, but also insects and other animals. They belong to the order Hemiptera
like aphids
and cicadas.
The true bugs have forewings that are hardened at the base and membranous
at the tips. They sit flat over the abdomen hiding the membranous hind
wings. Hemiptera
means “half wing. They
are held flat on the back, with the ends overlapping. (Hardened
forewings like the beetles have, but the forewings of beetles meet
together in a straight line on their back)
The larva (nymph) resembles a miniature wingless adult, although their colour and markings may be very
different. The nymphs progress
through a series of moults (known as instars).
The wings are developed in the last instar. ( incomplete metamorphosis, there is not a pupal
stage). There are five instars.
In and near water, these families are on this website: Corixidae, Gerridae, Hydrometridae, Nepidae, Naucoridae, Notonectidae, Saldidae.
There are many families. Well known is the superfamily Pentatomoidea, which is divided into 14-15 families.
Such as the families Stink bugs (Pentatomidae), Acanthosomatidae, Burrower Bugs
(Cydnidae), Jewel bugs (Scutelleridae), ebony bugs (Thyreocoridae) with in the Netherlands
only the Thyreocoris scarabaeoides and since 2021 the family Plataspidae with in the Netherlands
only the Thyreocoris scarabaeoides.
Other true bugs families on this website are: Minute pirate bugs, Flower bugs (Anthocoridae) , Squash bugs,
Leaf-footed bug (Coreidae) , Seed bugs, Ground bugs (Lygaeidae),
Plant bugs (Miridae), Nabidae, Scentless plant bugs (Rhopalidae), Reduviidae,
Lace bugs (Tingidae).

On this page the bugs of the superfamily of shield bugs, stink bugs -
Pentatomoidea.
Bugs from the superfamily Pentatomoidea have a well-developed scutellum, which is often (not always) triangular in shape. The antennas usually with five segments.
The bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and the second pair of legs which produce a foul-smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter predators.

Bug, Motherly Shield Bug (Elasmucha
grisea). Family Acanthosomatidae.
The colours vary. Gray, green or red brown. On the scutellum is usually a black area.
They live in birch and alder.
The females take care for their eggs and larvae. They guard and protect
them. The nymphs follow their mother.The females lay their eggs in a cluster on the underside of
the leaves.
They hibernate as an adult.
Length 6 - 9 mm. Photos 5-6-2012,

It's a common species in many parts of the world. Rare and similar are:
Elasmostethus minor. So far only found on Lonicera xylosteum. The very rare
Elasmucha ferrugata, the pronotum is pointed and Elasmostethus fieberi,. German: Fleckige Brutwanze French: Punaise grise ou

Elasmucha
fieberi.
Family Acanthosomatidae.
Not in the garden but in the dunes
about 4 km from our house.
It looks like the birch bug. They may be lighter than the bug in the picture.
Differences according to Berend Aukema: E. fieberi is punctured deeper than E. grisea and also much more punctured on the abdominal segments. At the front corners of the
pronotum is clearly a small tooth. Photos 18-6-2013 and a paler one in 24-6-2015.

 .  Birch
Shield Bug, Birch Bug
(Elasmostethus interstinctus).
They can be confused with the
parent bug. They have no black spots along the edge of the body. They are green with red, reddish brown.
The scutellum is also green with red, reddish brown..
Remarkably, the Birch Shield Bug has a kind of antifreeze in its body, making
it survives harsh winter conditions. It is therefore found in the entire Northern Hemisphere.
They live in birch. They are also found on aspen and hazel. In my garden I find them on other plants. But near the birch.
Length: 9-11 mm.
A larger similar species is
Hawthorn shieldbug
(Acanthosoma haemorrhoidale).
Elasmostethus minor is even more similar, but in the Netherlands
they only live in South Limburg (in the Red Honeysuckle) They are
very rare. On a photo the difference is only seen at a segment
of the abdomen. German: Bunte Blattwanze.

The
Hawthorn shieldbug
looks similar to
the Birch
Shield Bug, Birch Bug (Elasmostethus interstinctus),
but it is much lager
and more elongate. The
lateral extensions of the pronotum are also larger. It
is shiny green with black spots and deep red markings.
The
scutellum is green.
It can be seen in
hedgerows, on the edges of woodlands. It is feeding mainly on hawthorn
berries. It will feed on leaves other deciduous trees, including oak, hazel and
birch.

All
Pentatomidae in the Netherlands on "Waarneming".
The bugs from the family Pentatomidae in the Netherlands can be divided into the
subfamily Asopinae (predatory), Pentatominae (The largest group, mainly sucks on plants) and Podopinae
(In the Old World. In Europe a small group, in the Netherlands only the Graphosoma lineatum.
The scutellum is greatly enlarged).

 .  Green Shieldbug (Palomena
prasina). Subfamily
Pentatominae. Family Stink bugs (Pentatomidae).
A very common shield bug. A green bug. The 4th
and 5th segments of the antennae are partially reddish.
I find them in many different plants, shrubs, trees.
They resemble the Nezara viridula. This bug has a pale wing membrane. The
wing membrane of Newly-emerged adults green stink is pale too.
Looks a lot more like Palomena viridissima, which hasn't been found in the Netherlands for a long time. The dimensions of the segments differ. At P. prasina the second is slightly longer than the third. With P. virida
it is clearly longer. And the leading edge of the pronotum is slightly hollow (slightly
convex at P. viridissima).
Adult: All year.

The bug in the photo is a young adult. In August, September is the new adult generation.
In autumn its colour changes to red. In spring they are yellowish green.
The edge on the sides of the body is small yellow. Along the edge is a blue
part. The antennae are orange.
It lives on legumes (Leguminosae or Fabaceae). Especially broom and gorse. I found it in the garden (2010) on a butterfly bush. It was not until March 2018 that I saw another in the garden. Coincidental again on the butterfly bush. Because this bug is photographed in the spring, it is yellowish green. (photo left below) In the dunes I see them much more often on broom.
The adult hibernates.

 .  Striped Shield Bug (Graphosoma italicum).
Subfamily
Podopinae. Family Stink bugs (Pentatomidae).
A
shield bug with black longitudinal stripes on a red body. The legs are almost entirely black. In the Netherlands, it cann't
be confused with other bugs. In southern Europe there are more similar species. Graphosoma semipunctatum with interrupted black stripes on the
pronotum and red legs. Graphosoma creticum a lighter species with less clear stripes (Crete). Graphosoma melanoxanthum (South Russia, Turkey, Iran)
Graphosoma lineatum is sometimes divided into two subspecies: Graphosoma lineatum
italicum, the pictured species and Graphosoma lineatum lineatum, which has red legs and
is sometimes more orange. Occurs in North Africa. If you search on the Internet, this gives quite often confusion.
Now, after DNA research, Graphosoma italicum and Graphosoma lineatum are assumed.
The Netherlands the Striped Shield Bug
was a pretty rare bug, but it is now becoming more common. Yet this is the only time I've
seen this bug bug in the garden
They often can be found on Umbelliferae. In this case, a celery flower.
Size 8-11 mm. The adults

A small brown black bug with a metallic sheen. It is recognizable by the long hairs and the
bristles on the outer edge of the head.
It is very similar to the Microporus nigrita. One difference is that in this
burrower bug, there are also two bristles on the 'nose'. In Byrsinus
flavicornis there are two long hairs.
Both species live for the most part under the sandy soil, where they suck on the roots of grasses. In the spring they come up for mating.

on this page are only bugs from the garden or the surrounding area. I've found this one farther away. I have already looked at many
bugloss plants (also in the garden), but haven't found them here yet. If I find one, I will replace the photo.
In the Netherlands it is rare. He occurs in some places on the higher sandy soils, but also in some places in the dunes.
Sehirus morio looks very similar to Sehirus luctuosus, but is larger.
Feeds on several plants in the borage family and can be found under the leaf rosettes
of fiddlenecks, bugloss, houndstongue and blueweed.
The adult bug overwinters. Late April to end of September.

have kept it with grasses and flowers of grasses and I've taken pictures, when it was grown. As an adult it
got it's freedom again in the garden. I also have taken photos of three shed skins on graph paper.Eurygaster Maura is very similar. Eurygaster testudinaria has slightly wider / more pointed shoulders and a sunken
tylus (Tylus is the line between the cheeks). They are variable in colour (brown, red) and drawing (wide
broad stripes on the back) is not always very visible. (like the
Eurygaster on this photo) The scutellum is very large.
The bugs feed on juices of grasses, but also of other plants like this bug.
