UnidentifiedID Request
Location: Mysore, Karnataka, India

Hi Daniel,
I am writing from Mysore, India. I found a very tiny bug in our garden which I could not identify. This is very tiny – about 1mm. I also found a bug of the same species but with a tube-like extension at it’s hind quarters which looked like an egg sack. Please help me with the id of this bug from the images attached.
Thanks in advance

Dear Subharghya Das,
All we can say for certain is that your insects are in the order Hemiptera, but beyond that, we haven’t a clue. They are most likely a plant feeding species that uses piercing/sucking mouthparts to feed on plant fluids. The tubelike extension is most like a waxy filament that is produced by many insects in the order. We hope to be able to provide a species name in the near future.
