This is another species only recently found in Nottinghamshire,
when recorded from the former Rufford Colliery site at Rainworth by Tim
Sexton in June 2020 and then at Budby South Forest in July 2022
(Pendleton, T.A.). As with most Chrysid wasps, safe identification can
only be achieved by close examination of a specimen. Hedychridium ardens
has several host species which it uses, including Cerceris arenaria
and Cerceris rybyensis, which are the most likely two species to be
used in Nottinghamshire. |
