Heterocordylus genistae

Nature often creates weird species. Heterocordylus genistae for instance is black, but looks grey and felty, because it is covered with long, white hairs, an incommon feature in bugs, for most are hairless. This is another small species, reaching a length of no more than 5 mm. Heterocordylus genistae is a useful species though, for both the adults and the larvae feed on plant lice.
