Coreus marginatus, commonly called the dock bug, is a species of squash bug. It is a speckled brown insect with a broad abdomen, and is common in most parts of Europe. It is often found in dense vegetation, such as hedgerows and wasteland, where it mainly feeds on the leaves and seeds of docks and sorrels. When touched, a brown liquid is excreted that smells very bad and is very difficult to remove.
De zuringwants leeft in grote delen van Europa en is in de meeste streken niet zeldzaam. De habitat bestaat uit zonnige plaatsen want dit dier houdt van zonnen zodat ze sneller worden. Deze soort leeft in zowel bosranden en vochtige hooilanden als grasland met hier en daar dichtere begroeiing, maar ook in stadsparken en wegbermen wordt de zuringwants aangetroffen, meestal in de buurt van water. Bij verstoring wordt snel gereageerd op de trillingen en laat het dier zich vallen of vliegt weg. In bladstrooisel is het zeer goed gecamoufleerd. De zuringwants is een goede vlieger die 'vanuit stand' kan vliegen en niet eerst ergens op hoeft te klimmen. Bij aanraking wordt een bruine vloeistof afgescheiden die erg stinkt en moeilijk is te verwijderen.
My oldest son posing with two members of the M/V Algosteel while docked in South Chicago. We assisted the cook with running an errand on the "east side". The boys were kind enough to invite us aboard for a spell. I hope they're all happily retired now in Newfoundland. August 09, 2003.
