Diet

• Adults and nymphs: Presumably plant-feeding, using their piercing-sucking mouthparts to obtain fluids from leaves, stems, flowers and developing plant tissues.

Range

• Prepopsoides jaliscoensis is a plant bug (Family Miridae) 

• Around Zihua, it would likely be considered rare to occasional, as the species appears to have a relatively restricted known distribution in western Mexico.

Habitat

• The genus Prepopsoides is associated primarily with woodland, forest margins, scrub and other vegetated habitats.

• Species of the related tribe Resthenini are particularly associated with broad-leaved forests, including both wet and dry forest, as well as grasslands and xeric habitats.

• Around Zihua, P. jaliscoensis would most likely be encountered in tropical dry forest, woodland edges and areas of dense native vegetation, particularly where shrubs and small trees provide suitable feeding sites.

• Its relatively small size and subdued coloration make it easy to overlook among foliage.

Size

• Adults are over 9 mm long, placing P. jaliscoensis among the larger species of Prepopsoides.

• The body is elongate and relatively slender, typical of many members of the Mirini.
