Emerald Poise. Common Green Capsid Bug, Lygocoris pabulinus, on Cotinus coggygria, European Smoketree, Amsterdam Zoo ARTIS, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
You can visit caged or fenced-in animals in any Zoo but the free ones there are far greater in number. Think of insects and spiders and lots of birds, little rodents, skinks and lizards and salamanders, Frogs, of course...
Today in ARTIS I was looking at the almost purple foliage and beige flowers of pretty European Smoketree with the somewhat pleonastic scientific name Cotinus coggygria. And there it was, Beautifully Emerald Green Capsid Bug, Lygocoris pabulinus, forager in the shade, poised on the wee flowers of our shrub.
