Megacoelum infusum (Herrich-Schäffer, 1837)
Megacoelum infusum is a distinctively large, long-legged and bright orange Mirid Bug. This one was beaten from the lower branches of a Small-leaved Lime  at Mansfield Cemetery in August 2021. Our only other record was from Sherwood Heath SSSI at the end of September 2015, which possibly represented the first occurrence of this widespread UK species in Nottinghamshire and was certainly the first record for the Sherwood Forest NNR.
