Lasiomerus annulatus
damsel bug
Lasiomerus annulatus is a species of damsel bug in the family Nabidae, native to North America. The last-instar nymph was first described in 1993, providing important taxonomic clarification for this poorly known species. It ranges across southern Canada and the northern United States, with its northern limit established at 45°37′N latitude in Quebec. The species has been collected from 1979 to 1985 in Quebec, indicating a stable population in that region. As a nabid, it is presumed to be predatory, though specific prey records remain limited.
