Streaked Plant Bug Miris striatus


My first example of this much-anticipated species was even more striking than I expected. Other examples online mostly show the pale streaks on the wings as yellower (less orange) and the pronotal spot is often also yellower (less orange) and larger. The fiery-and-black combo of this individual made for an absolutely superb insect!
