Apolygus lucorum (Meyer-Dür, 1843) | ||
A common Plantbug found on a range of plants including Tansy, Nettle and often on Mugwort. Again, there are several very similar species that make identification less easy. Apolygus lucorum is probably widespread over much of Nottinghamshire and obviously very much under recorded. The ones illustrated, were found on Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) at Ravensdale, Mansfield and on Tansy (Tanacetum vulgare) at Hoveringham, in August 2016 and 2017 respectively. | ||
