Wood bugs, green, striped or fields !

Wood bug habit

la punaise des bois - Palomena prasina

Bugs preferably live outside, but some species preferred to winter in homes where temperature is more clement than outside.
As soon as the temperature begins to descend (autumn,) it looks for a shelter (the glass wool of a house suits it perfectly,) sleeps during the winter, wakes up in the spring, reproduces, and as soon as the temperature is sufficiently soft, leaves outside.
Even if these insects go home, they're not home bugs. only the bed bug actually lives in the houses.

 

Zoom on the American bug (or pin bug)

 

Punaise américaine - Leptoglossus occidentalis

Discovered in the early 20th century in the Californian rocky mountains, its colonization of the United States went through time, until it reached the city of new york in 1990. trade by sea with Europe allowed it to reach the main European ports quickly on the beginning of the 21st century. In recent years, the American bug has expanded its development in French and exponentially. In the fall of 2018, due to its particularly favourable weather conditions, a resurgence of American bugs was noted. Just like the wood bug, they are numerous in the fall (and therefore in the approach of winter) to gather to find refuge in our homes. and for this, they use a method that is clean, infallible: they emit very particular pheromones, so-called aggregation, and where the species abounds ... its congeners apply by tens and are becoming more aggressive! That's why sometimes bugs grouped by dozens. The American bug attacks the cones and inflorescences of various species of resinous (including ornament). It's a phytophage insect. It is equipped with a very efficient infrared device, allowing it to spot its lunch remotely. After wintering, adult bugs reproduce. the females lay on the needles of the fed trees. the incubation of the eggs is about 2 to 3 weeks, and the young chicks take on the tenderest parts of the cones, before gaining in age and power to attack the seeds themselves. Larval development consists of 5 stages, the acquisition of wings marking the transition to adult status, which occurs in the heart of summer.
