| | | Two different instars of Deraeocoris flavilinea with exuvia
Stony Stratford, Bucks.
Well I'm pretty sure that they're both Deraeocoris flavilinea as I've been checking this 30m section of fence three or four times a week for some years (while walking my dog). These pics were taken at more or less the same place as the two later instar nymphs in my earlier in my post about a week ago, see: Hairy bug for identification
However.....
I would appreciate confirmation from our experts before I load them to the Gallery: Note the absence of wing-buds on this one (well maybe there are tiny ones).  This very pink one has just completed its moult.

Evening Bruce,
Excellent images there, I've never seen a Mirid moult. Seems like a bit of a study you've done! Nice-looking pink one, seems very young indeed - no buds present at all.
I saw my first adult of the species today.
Take care, Jason  |

Thanks Jason - I'm assuming you agree with the id?

they are great shots and fascinating to follow their life cycle.

Thanks Ashe - Yes I'm very lucky there are so many of these on the one stretch of fencing.
