The common green capsid can be found throughout Europe.
\nA bright green insect about 5 mm in size that punctures holes in flower stems causing them to dry up. The larvae eat leaves and fruit, causing warty spots on the fruit. As a result, the skin of the fruit is somewhat damaged; however, the flesh is unaffected.
\nThe insect overwinters in the bark of trees, where eggs are also deposited. The common green capsid also overwinters in fallen leaves under hedges.<\/p>\n
