Metopoplax ditomoides
Metopoplax ditomoides is a small ground bug in the family Oxycarenidae. It has been documented across Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and has been introduced to Chile and Canada. The species is notable for forming large aggregations that migrate from marshy habitats and occasionally invade buildings near riparian zones.
Phylloxera paludis
Phylloxera paludis is a species of phylloxeran insect in the family Phylloxeridae, order Hemiptera. Phylloxerans are small, soft-bodied, sap-sucking insects closely related to aphids. Members of the genus Phylloxera are known for inducing gall formation on host plants through chemical secretions that alter plant tissue development. The specific epithet "paludis" suggests an association with marsh or wetland habitats, though detailed ecological studies of this particular species appear limited in the available literature.
