Plant Bug

Deraeocoris ruber

Plant Bug

The adult plant bug inhabits herbaceous vegetation, hedgerows, and gardens across much of Europe. It actively hunts small soft-bodied insects and pierces prey with its slender rostrum, though it may also feed on plant fluids. Fully developed wings allow it to move between patches of vegetation in search of prey.
