Coreid bug - Coreid bug

Japanese: ヘリカメムシ(縁亀虫) - ヘリカメムシ(英語表記)coreid bug
Coreid bug - Coreid bug
A general term for insects in the Hemiptera family Coreidae, or one of these species. They range from small to large. They are so named because their antennae have four segments and extend from the lateral edge of the head (above the edge connecting the center of the compound eyes and the top of the head when viewed from the side). The horns on the dorsal side of the prothorax sometimes protrude forward or become spiny. Many species have widely spreading lateral edges of the abdomen. The membranous wing veins are finely reticulated. The hind femoral segments of the legs are sometimes thick and spiny or flattened. There are approximately 1,800 known species worldwide, with 55 known in Japan (including the families Coreidae and Eleuthero, described below).
