#365Insects 112: #Mesovelia mulsanti White, 1879 Named in honour of Étienne Mulsanti, a French natural historian who studied everything from hummingbirds to #Hemiptera, including describing the genus #Mesovelia, this species is found from Canada to Argentina striding along ponds and lakes, and even salt marshes scavenging insect remains floating along. With ties to Europe, North, Central, and South America, as well as Pacific islands like Hawaii, this little bug makes for a good ambassador for World #HemipteraDay!
