Human-biting potential of the predatory flower bug Orius majusculus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae)
Parasitology Research 108 (6), 1579-1581
Abstract: The targeted biting of, and feeding on, humans by Orius majusculus, a flower bug predating on arthropods, is reported. Although the observed incidents certainly do not represent the normal feeding behaviour of the bug species, O. majusculus should be kept in mind as one option when insect bites during summer time are to be analysed.
