Orthocephalus coriaceus is a species of plant bug in the family Miridae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in Europe including European Russia, Ukraine and the Balkans and North America. [1]
Orthocephalus coriaceus lives on various daisy family plants ( Asteraceae) such as Leucanthemum, Tanacetum, Hieracium , Achillea, Centaurea, Artemisia . The bugs suck both on the leaves and stems, as well as on the reproductive organs of the plants. In North America it appears as a horticultural pest introduced from Europe.
