Everything about Nabidae totally explained
The
insect family Nabidae contains the
damsel bugs. The terms
damsel bug and
nabid are synonymous. There are over 400 species. They are soft-bodied, elongate, winged terrestrial predators. Many damsel bugs catch and hold prey with their forelegs, similar to
mantids. They are considered helpful species in
agriculture because of their predation on many types of crop pests, such as
cabbage worms,
aphids, and
lygus bugs.
Damsel bugs of the genus
Nabis are the most common. They and other genera are most numerous in fields of
legumes such as
alfalfa, but they can be found in many other crops and in non-cultivated areas. They are yellow to tan in color and have large, bulbous eyes and stiltlike legs. They are generalist predators, catching almost any insect smaller than themselves, and cannibalizing each other when no other food is available.
