Mesovelia furcata
Pondweed bug, abdomen
The dense hair coat on Mesovelia's body is clearly visible on this picture.
These hairs are greasy and water repellent. The Pondweed bug brushes and polishes often, to
keep things well waxed. When the bug is fully waxed, the green color often is hidden by the
strong shining, as you can seee below:
