| Hypseloecus
visci is a rare and possibly under-recorded Mirid
Bug. First recorded from the UK as recently as 2003,
there are still very few UK records and most of these are
from counties where apples are grown commercially. These
found and photographed by Tim Sexton below at Beeston in
July 2018, are almost certainly the first records for
VC56 Nottinghamshire. H. visci is found on
Mistletoe and although Mistletoe itself is quite
widespread in the county, it is usually inaccessible. Our
thanks go to Tim for allowing us to use his photographs. |
