Mullein bug
Campylomma is a generalist predator of apple and pear orchard pests including mites, aphids, and pear psylla. Adults and nymphs are predacious, but may feed on fruit (causing cosmetic damage to skin of fruit) if available prey are reduced to very low numbers. Campylomma occurs in most deciduous fruit growing regions of the northern U.S. and southern Canada.
