Cymus melanocephalus (Fieber, 1861) | ||
There are four species of Cymus in the UK, of which three are known to occur in Nottinghamshire. Cymus melanocephalus seems to be the most common of the three, despite an element of under-recording. Found on Trefoils and Rushes growing in damp areas, we found this species to be numerous (including nymphs) when sweep-netting a slightly boggy area of Budby South Forest in August 2017. The nymph is shown in the lower photographs. | ||
