Hi


Very unusual to see an action between spider and hemipteran --
This is Pisaura mirabilis spider and the prey is a hemipteran, but I don?t know which one... Could you provide genus level?

Taken today, with 20 ?C temperature, in V?lega (35 km south of Oporto).

Hello, Jorge!

I have the vague idea, it could be a Scutelleridae. Not sure and no species occuring here in Germany... ;-)

Hi, Jorge
I'm pretty certain that it is Eysarcoris aeneus, one of the Pentatomidae family.
