Globiceps fulvicollis is a species of plant-feeding insect of the family Miridae. [1]
This species is present in most European countries and the northern Mediterranean to Central Asia [2] These bugs mainly live in hedge rows, [3] open areas, dune slacks and damp heaths. [4]
Globiceps fulvicollis can reach a length of 5.2–6.1 millimetres (0.20–0.24 in) in males, of 4.4–5.6 millimetres (0.17–0.22 in) in females. [3] These bugs are mainly black, with pale yellow wide markings. Females have a relatively wide head and very reduced wings (brachyptery), with hemelytra non covering the apex of the abdomen. [4]
