Bugs thrive


Green and yellow, originally uploaded by jiihaa.

Here are two green bugs on yellow flowers - I tried to identify the species but didn't succeed. It has to be a common one as there are a lot of these around right now.

The plant is easy (Hypericum perforatum), the bugs seem to be some kind of Heteroptera, could be Lygocoris pabulinus.

Indeed!

In Finnish Lygocoris pabulinus is "herttalude", "heart bug".

Oooh, in German it's much more prosaic "Grüne Futterwanze", that would translate to "green fodder bug" ...
