Description
The first record of the rare true bug species Heterogaster cathariae (Geoffroy, 1785)(Heteroptera, Heterogastridae) in Luxembourg was made in October 2022 using the community science application iNaturalist. The subsequent collection of four specimens–deposited at the National Museum of Natural History, Luxembourg–led to the first global production of genetic reference material (ie DNA barcodes) for the species.
