Oulema rufocyanea
Described as a pest species by some authorities, this beautiful leaf beetle seems common in the Sherwood Forest area of the county. With a length of around 6mm, Oulema rufocyanea feeds on grasses and cereal crops and is probably common throughout most of Nottinghamshire. This adult was photographed on Budby Common in April 2006.
