Daily activity patterns were obtained for the mirids Creontiades dilutus and Campylomma liebknechti sampled from flowering cotton in the Lockyer Valley of southeastern Queensland. Two activity peaks occurred for both species, one during mid‐morning and a second in the late‐afternoon, the latter being the time of greatest activity. The commercial implications of this pattern are discussed.
