Compsidolon salicellum is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in Europe across the Palearctic to Siberia and Korea. It is also found in North America as an Adventive species. [1]
Sunny, dry as well as humid habitats are inhabited, such as forest edges or isolated bushes.
The bugs live mainly on common hazel ( Corylus avellana ), more rarely on other deciduous shrubs such as willow ( Salix ), alder ( Alnus ), honeysuckle ( Lonicera ), oak ( Quercus ) or linden ( Tilia ), occasionally Rubus species. They are zoophytophagous and suck both plant sap, as well as on mites, for example . The adult bugs can be observed from mid / late July to late September. The species has one generation per year.
