Eremocoris
podagricus Fabricius, 1775)  |
||
| A Lygaeid Bug with a south-easterly range in the UK and with just two traceable Nottinghamshire records. Eremocoris podagricus was first recorded at Barnstone in 1985 and there seems to have been no further records until one turned up during a Grizzled Skipper survey we conducted on a private site at Langar in May 2015 and then another from Market Warsop cemetery in February 2020 It has most recently been found at Portland Park, Kirkby-in-Ashfield in March 2026. There are four species of Eremocoris in the UK and correct identification relies mostly on a series of spines found on the swollen femur. | ||
