Chilacis typhae (Perris, 1857)
|
Chilacis typhae, the bulrush bug, is a species of true bug in the family Artheneidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America.[1][2][3][4]
It is typically associated with greater reedmace and Typha angustifolia; adults can be found pairing on the seed heads between spring and autumn. They often overwinter within the seed heads.[5] At times, they can occur at significant concentrations, with over 1000 individuals found in a single seedhead. [6]
