Plant bug (Neurocolpus sp.)on wild parsnip

This is probably one of the Neurocolpus species of plant bug. The wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa) has just begun to grow and flower but already the plants bugs are plentiful and the parsnip webworm (a moth) has found them. The latter is a control agent for these plants. Wild parsnip is also favoured by the black swallowtail butterfly for laying its eggs on.
