Closterotomus trivialis is a species of plant bugs belonging to the family Miridae, subfamily Mirinae. This species is mainly found in Italy, Greece, Portugal, Spain and Yugoslavia. Closterotomus trivialis can reach a length of 6.6–7.9 millimetres (0.26–0.31 in). The color of the body is quite variable. In the females the body is usually yellow and green in color, with a yellow green head. Males may be red and black. Pronotum usually shows two central and two lateral black spots.
In the Mediterranean basin Closterotomus trivialis has been reported as a serious pest of olive and citrus crops. This species has a single annual generation (univoltine) on citrus and overwinters in the egg stage in bark cracks. Females oviposit their eggs at the end of spring. Eggs hatch in late winter to early spring and larvae feed on understorey weeds, mainly on Urtica species and Parietaria officinalis, Urticaceae being the main hosts. The adults feed on buds and young flowers of olives.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Trivial Plant Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Birmingham (18 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
