Hemerobius humulinus

*Hemerobius humulinus* (Linnaeus, 1761)
The majority of county records have come from the two SSSI's, incorporated within the Sherwood Forest NNR, despite this being one of the more common of the so-called Brown Lacewings. There are few Nottinghamshire records, but this species should turn up in a wide variety of habitats including woodland. The examples illustrated, were both beaten from Ivy growing on Sycamore at Cockglode Wood near Ollerton in late May 2019.
