Nabis flavomarginatus is a species of damsel bug in the family Nabidae. [1]
This species has a Holarctic distribution. In Europe it is found in the North and East but it is largely missing in the South West and South. In the East the distribution extends over the Palearctic to Siberia and Central Asia and the North of China, Japan and Korea. In the Nearctic realm, it is common in Alaska, Canada and Greenland. In 1989 it was found for the first time in the continental body of the United States (Maine). In Greenland, it is the only species in the family Nabidae conspicuously on the former settlement area of the Vikings (their introduction through this in the early Middle Ages is speculated about).
In Western and Central Europe N. flavomaculatus is boreomontane. It rises in the Alps to 2200 meters above sea level. [2] [3]
N. flavomaculatus is found in wet, open habitats with a high proportion of grasses (Poaceae), sedges (Cyperaceae) and rushes (Juncaceae). The species prefers micro-climatic lower temperatures than most other species of the subfamily Nabinae. It is rare in half-shady places.
Nabis flavomarginatus lives mainly in the herbaceous layer and has a non-specific prey spectrum. Cicadas are however frequent prey according to their habitat. Overwintering occurs as the egg. The nymphs occur from May the adults (depending on the altitude) from June/July to October, until July. Late in the year, only females are observed. [4]

It occurs in the East in Eastern Europe and across the Palearctic to Siberia to China and Korea. It is introduced in Canada. In the Alps, it rises to about 1400 meters above sea level. In the South of Europe, it is found only in the central uplands.

Nabis rugosus also known as the Common Damsel Bug is a predatory true bug. The species is found in the Palearctic. It is found in Europe from the North edge of the Mediterranean to southern Scandinavia. Further east, the distribution extends east across the Palearctic to Central Asia and Siberia. The species occurs everywhere in Central Europe and is found in the lowlands, as well as in the central uplands and in the Alps up to about 1500 meters above sea level. It is Central Europe's most common species of sickle bug and it is found in many different habitats, open, dry, shaded and moist; but it prefers moderately moist, half shady places with dominant grass. Adjacent woodland vegetation is equally important.

The range is from South Scandinavia and the South of the British Isles over West Europe including the Western Mediterranean, Central Europe and Eastern Europe and in the Caucasus. It is also found in North America. Himacerus major occurs in many different habitats with grass, regardless of the level of humidity. The species occurs on very dry dune habitats, and nutrient-poor grasslands,as well as wet shores of waters without woody vegetation and salt places inland. The species occurs in very large numbers near the coast of the Northern Baltic Sea. It is absent from woodland.
