Description
This is the less common of the only two members of the true bug family Artheneidae known to live in North America. It is easily distinguished from the other artheneid, Holcocranum saturejae, by the dark wishbone pattern on its head, heavily mottled thorax lacking pale longitudinal dash marks, cinnamon colored legs, and slightly larger size. Both species are adventive and are found in the seedheads of cattails. (D. Webb)

Chilacis typhae, the bulrush bug, is a species of true bug in the family Artheneidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America.[1][2][3][4]
It is typically associated with greater reedmace and Typha angustifolia; adults can be found pairing on the seed heads between spring and autumn. They often overwinter within the seed heads.[5] At times, they can occur at significant concentrations, with over 1000 individuals found in a single seedhead. [6]
