One of the
two common Drymus species, which are very
difficult to tell apart in the field. Drymus brunneus
shows a slight brownish colouration to the rear of the
pronotum, but it is still easily confused with Drymus
sylvaticus. Adults can be found over the Winter
months, hibernating under logs and stones. Our recent records have come
from under corrugated sheeting on Sherwood
Heath SSSI in March 2014 and from sample of moss taken off the side of a
large rock at Clipstone Old Quarter in March 2020. |
