Grass bug (Stenodema laevigata) – species of family “Plant Bugs“

Stenodema laevigatum, or sometimes Stenodema laevigata (also called Grass bug), is a carnivorous species of bug from Miridae family. The species have a gray to brown elongated body, with the eyes located backwards in the head. Sometimes they might come in green colour. They are 8–10 millimetres (0.31–0.39 in) in length, which makes it a rather big species of its kind. They are common in the United Kingdom, and throughout the rest of Europe.
