Largus californicus, also known as the California bordered plant bug, is a species of bordered plant bug in the family Largidae. It is found in western North America, as well as parts of Central America.[1][2][3]
They measure around 2.5 cm (0.98 in) in length. Adults have a black exoskeleton with orange edges on the thorax and abdomen. Nymphs are metallic blue, later with a red spot at the base of the abdomen.[4][5] They are indistinguishable in appearance from Largus cinctus.[5]
