About Orthops kalmii (Linnaeus, 1758)
Orthops kalmii, commonly known as Kalm's plant bug, is a species of plant bug that belongs to the family Miridae and subfamily Mirinae. It can be found across most of Europe, with the exception of the Azores, the Canary Islands, the Faroe Islands, Iceland, and Malta. Its range extends east through the Palearctic region all the way to Siberia. Adults of this species reach a length of 4.5 millimetres (0.18 in). Both nymphs and adult Orthops kalmii feed on plants in the Apiaceae family, with no specific preference for particular Apiaceae species. The species' scientific name honours Pehr Kalm, a Finnish naturalist.
