Cosmoclopius nigroannulatus is a species of assassin bug family (Reduviidae), in the subfamily Harpactorinae. It is a predator of pests in tobacco fields.[1][2] Its main prey is the tobacco grayish bug, Spartocera dentiventris.[3] although it is also known to feed on Myzus persicae and Macrosiphum euphorbiae aphids, as well as Epitrix and Diabrotica speciosa beetles. [4]
Life history
[edit]Females require a period of time to mature their reproductive organs after emergence.[5]
