I found a batch of eggs 25 days ago that I think are Corizus hyoscyami. I have been rearing the eggs to make sure. I have some young Corizus hyoscyami not yet as advanced as in your image. But my research about them makes me think your image looks right for them.<br />Regards Dave MonkDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02604375403916469712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294155481861267737.post-42477207106724003952012-09-09T22:37:16.184+01:002012-09-09T22:37:16.184+01:00It could well be R. subrufus.

I think I would have to wait a much longer time until Pyrrhocoris apterus gets here, it is one of those childhood bugs...Africa Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501193251810926737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7294155481861267737.post-68520204533029987102012-09-09T22:00:43.368+01:002012-09-09T22:00:43.368+01:00I was expecting you'd comment Ray!

I thought the nymph might be a Corizus too, but the photo in British Bugs looks different.
