Stenodema laevigatum (also called Grass bug)[1] is a carnivorous species of bug from Miridae family. The species have a gray to brown elongated body, with the eyes located backwards in the head.[2] Sometimes they might come in green colour.[3] They are 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in) in length, which makes it a rather big species of its kind.[2]
Life cycle
The larvae is light yellowish and is born in summer, with adults taking over by August. By autumn, the species turn brown, and start their overwintering. As soon as spring starts, their colour is changes to green, which camouflages them under a grass colour.[2]
