https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coptosoma_scutellatum This species can be found in most of southern Europe and it is widespread from North Africa to Siberia, China, Korea and Japan.
Adults and nymphs feed on a wide range of plants in the Fabaceae, including both herbaceous and woody legumes. The species overwinters as larvae (in third or fourth instar) and develops in May or June into the adult insect. The adults can be observed from summer until September. The oviposition occurs in midsummer.
Coptosoma scutellatum can reach a size of about 4–5 mm. These small true bugs are almost spherical or trapezoidal in shape and shiny deep black, sometimes with green, blue or bronze gloss. The side edges of the abdomen are yellow. The scutellum covers the abdomen and the tarsus is bipartite.
