Category:Lygaeus simulans
NOTE: The animals historically referred to as Lygaeus equestris are actually members of two different (almost cryptic) species: Lygaues equestris and Lygaeus simulans that can be clearly separated by the male genitalia or by very good (sharp & big) macro images of the hairs on the scutellum or the exact shape of the antennae pedestals. Nymphs can be separated somewhat more reliably (but not always/totally) based on colour characters. Both species can occur sympatrically over a large section of their range(s).
It is NOT usually possible to separate the two from average photos or based on range/location alone - when in doubt categorize as category:Lygaeus equestris\simulans.
Reason: Lygaeus simulans is a synonym of Lygaeus equestris\simulans
This tag should be used on existing categories that are likely to be used by others, even though the "real" category is elsewhere. Redirected categories should be empty and not categorised themselves. It should not be used on categories that are misspellings and thus unlikely to be used by other people.
Such categories should be tagged as: {{bad name|Category:correct name}}.
