Quite small for a bug, about 4-5mm long. I think it is of the Nabidae family but have no idea of the species. Thanks, Joaquim Gaspar Lisboa Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [127.22Kb] Edited by Alvesgaspar on 03-01-2008 13:29 |

Looks more like family Lygaeidae to me, and perhaps something like Oxycarenus lavaterae, judging by the photos at: http://www.koleop...index.html Martin Martin Harvey |

Oxycarenus lavaterae, without any doubt. Very, very, very common in any plant of the Malvaceae family - I've seen even in Hibiscus syriacus-. |
