Field Notes
Description:
Zelus luridus is a species of true bug. This species uses sticky traps as a predation strategy, which is also common to other species in the genus Zelus. The sticky material is produced by a gland on the leg. This gland develops in the second instar. During the first instar, the nymphs use secretions deposited over the egg batch by the female as the source of their sticky material. (information from Wikipedia)
Habitat:
Landscaped area adjacent to forest
