Globiceps fulvicollis is a species of plant-feeding insect of the family Miridae.[1]
This species is present in most European countries and the northern Mediterranean to Central Asia[2] These bugs mainly live in hedge rows, open areas, dune slacks and damp heaths.
Globiceps fulvicollis can reach a length of 5.2- in males, of 4.4- in females.[3] These bugs are mainly black, with pale yellow wide markings. Females have a relatively wide head and very reduced wings (brachyptery), with hemelytra non covering the apex of the abdomen.[4]
This species is very similar to Dryophilocoris flavoquadrimaculatus.[4]
