In the United Kingdom it was formerly scarce[2] and restricted largely to southern juniper woodlands but in recent years it has become common across southern and central England as a result of the widespread garden planting of juniper and cypress.[1] Recent discoveries on stands of juniper in northern England and Scotland suggest that the range of the species may be extending.[1] The juniper shield bug is active for most of the year apart from the coldest months.[1] It overwinters as an adult, emerging to mate in the early spring.[1] New adults may be found from late August onwards.[1] See alsoList of shield bug species of Great BritainReferences1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|url=http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/heteroptera/Acanthosomatidae/cyphostethus_tristriatus.html |title=(Acanthosomatidae) Cyphostethus tristriatus Juniper Shield Bug |publisher=Britishbugs.org.uk |date= |accessdate=2012-08-19}} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://archive.org/stream/britishjournalof1999brit/britishjournalof1999brit_djvu.txt |title=Full text of "British journal of entomology and natural history" |publisher=Archive.org |date= |accessdate=2012-08-19}} Further reading
