That's not statistics that's research ;-)... http://eeb.lu.lv/EEB/201011v8_1-4/EEB_8_Petrova.pdf
Statistics is a weird thing.. But this is something interesting! ;) thank you, now I will now that this definitely isn't a rare species.
47.3% of all Latvian Miridae on strawberries are Lygus rugulipennis...
Thank you very much, bayucca, it really looks like it and we have it in my country :)) don't remember about the strawberries in my garden, but somewhere in the neighbourhood they surely were growing :)
Miridae, Lygus sp. and most probably Lygus rugulipennis. http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/heteroptera/Miridae/lygus_rugulipennis.html My problem is, that my thinking is sometimes faster than my brain ;-)... Were there any strawberry around?
Thank you, bayucca! :) It surely is, I even thinks it is the same as this one http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/37879278 , just not very sure.... That one has two very distinct dots, this one hasn't, but it looks like they are there just very, very pale.. so I'm still in the thinking process :D :)
Plant Bug, Miridae?? Not sure, just a hint.
