Stenodema trispinosa is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae, first described in 1904. [1] It can be found across transcontinental North America Eurasia.
Species within the genus Stenodema are elongate with a longitudinal furrow between the eyes and are best distinguished by the coarsely and densely pitted prothorax. S. trispinosa is about 8–9 mm long and has three spurs on the hind femora. This distinguishes it from other closely related species, notably S. calcarata which has two femoral spurs. [2] [3]
There are two generations per year. Adults which have overwintered and mated in the spring are green with an orange-brown hourglass marking down their back, and those born later in the year are beige or tan. Males are often darker than females.
This species has been found across transcontinental North America Eurasia and is commonly observed in grassy fields and wetlands. [4]
Stenodema trispinosa feeds on grasses such as the meadow foxtail, reed canary grass and common reed. [1] They overwinter as adults and emerge in April, and the new generation is complete by August. [5]
The specific name trispinosa means "three-spined" and refers to the three small spines on its femurs. [6]
The pearl-bordered fritillary is a butterfly of the family Nymphalidae found in Europe and through Russia across the Palearctic to the north of Kazakhstan.
Rhaphigaster nebulosa, common name mottled shieldbug, is a species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae.
Aira praecox is a species of grass known by several common names, including early hair-grass, yellow hairgrass and spike hairgrass. It is native to Europe, where it is found in dry, sandy places, on rocky outcrops, and in heath grassland. It also grows in North America as an introduced species, where it can be found on the east and west coasts in sandy or rocky areas, such as beaches and roadsides. This is a tuft-forming annual grass growing up to about 10 to 15 centimeters in maximum height. The thin, narrow leaves are located at the base of the stem, and are typically 0.3–2 millimeters wide. It bears small, tightly congested inflorescences of purple-tinted green bisexual spikelets.
Agriphila tristella, the common grass-veneer, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae found in Europe and Asia.
Chilo phragmitella is a species of moth of the family Crambidae, sometimes referred to by the vernacular names wainscot veneer or reed veneer. It was first described by Jacob Hübner between 1805 and 1810 as Tinea phragmitella, and is the type species of the genus Chilo.
The Yantai stingray, Hemitrygon laevigata, is a little-known species of stingray in the family Dasyatidae, inhabiting shallow waters in the northwestern Pacific Ocean off the coasts of China and Japan. Measuring no more than 20–30 cm (7.9–11.8 in) across, this species is characterized by its diamond-shaped pectoral fin disc wider than long, completely smooth skin, dorsal coloration of dark irregular spots on a yellowish gray-brown background, and ventral coloration of more spots on a white background with yellowish margins. One of the three most common stingrays sold for food in China, the slow-reproducing Yantai stingray faces possible overfishing and habitat degradation, and its numbers appear to be declining. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has assessed it as vulnerable.
Liocoris tripustulatus or the common nettle bug is a species of plant bug belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. The species was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1781.

Stenodema calcarata is a species of bug from Miridae family, that can be found in Europe and across the Palearctic to Central Asia, the Russian Far East, Siberia, northern China, Korea and Japan.
Stenodema laevigatum, or sometimes Stenodema laevigata, is a species of bug from Miridae family. The species have a gray to brown elongated body, with the eyes located backwards in the head. Sometimes they might come in green colour. They are 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in) in length, which makes it a rather big species of its kind. They are common in the United Kingdom, and throughout the rest of Europe. then east across the Palearctic through Asia Minor and the Caucasus to northern China.

Orsillus depressus is a species of seed bug in the family Lygaeidae. It is a terrestrial insect native to southern Europe. It is considered a naturalized introduced species in the UK. O. depressus was first recorded in England in the 1980s and is now common throughout central and southern England. In southern Europe, its host plants are trees in Cupressaceae while in the UK Lawson's cypress is the most common host plant. O. depressus is approximately 6 mm in length and has a browny-orange coloration.
