Nabis pseudoferus is a species of damsel bug in the family Nabidae. [1]
This insect shows promise as an agent of biological pest control against the South American tomato pinkworm ( Tuta absoluta ). [2]
The insect family Nabidae contains the damsel bugs. There are over 500 species in 20 genera. They are soft-bodied, elongate, winged terrestrial predators. Many damsel bugs catch and hold prey with their forelegs, similar to mantids. They are considered helpful species in agriculture because of their predation on many types of crop pests.

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.
