Description
Photography made by Giancarlo in Spring 1981 in Emilia - Italy
with his manual camera Canon F1 and a Macro lens.
(the original shot was a slide)
No post work, only framed with Photoshop 7
I want to continue our trip in the Macro world of Giancarlo....
This little guy is a "Coreus Marinatus" - Family Coreidae
An impressive bug 14mm long. The orange is not always so prominent.
Hosts include sheep's sorrel, sorrel, great water dock, curled dock, rhubarb, persicaria and knotgrass; (Polygonaceae). Because of this host range the bugs may be found in hedgerows, the margins of cultivated fields, watermeadows, wastelands (but seldom on heaths) and the edges of woods. Found in England and Wales up to the southern midlands, the known distribution is patchy; the bug is much more abundant in the south of its range.
