Description

Anoplotettix fuscovenosus can reach a length of about 5.5–6.5 millimetres (0.22–0.26 in). Basic color is brownish or yellowish, with characteristic black spots on the front head near the compound eyes and a dark venation of the wings (hence the Latin name fuscovenosus of the species). [3]

These insects are polyphagous, larvae and nymphs live on various wild herbaceous plants, while adults live on bushy plants and on broadleaf trees. Adults mainly feed on fruits, especially grapevine ( Vitis vinifera ). These plant suckers show one generation per year. They overwinter in the egg stage. [4]

Distribution

This species is present in most of Europe and in North Africa. [5]
