According to the NBN Atlas,
this planthopper has a widespread distribution covering much of the
southern UK, although distribution does seem rather patchy. Found on
many deciduous trees, the Winter is passed in the nymph stage and it was
in this stage that Tim Sexton found a nymph at Attenborough NR in
January 2018 (bottom two photographs) which is believed to be the first record for
Nottinghamshire.
It has since been found again, at Wallingwells
Wood at the other end of the county in July 2021, where both adults (top
two photographs) and nymphs were commonly beaten off Ivy along the
south-facing edge of the wood. |
