Brachysteles parvicornis
Brachysteles parvicornis is a minute predatory bug in the family Anthocoridae, native to Europe and now established in North America. It was first recorded in North America from New York and New Jersey in 1990, with subsequent collections from Maine, Massachusetts, and Canada. The species is associated with conifers and has been collected alongside the oribatid mite Humerobates rostrolamellatus. Both macropterous (fully winged) and brachypterous (short-winged) forms exist, though only macropters have been documented in North America.
