	Thank you Danilo Lüdke for identifying this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere ~4.5mm long. We thought the different coloured bugs shown here (red abdominal marks vs green) may have been a different species. But Danilo considers them to be the same species. We can only assume the colour variation is perhaps due to their food source; or perhaps gender. The green specimens also have have less black on their abdomen.
