Brooklime Leaf Beetle Prasocuris junci (Brahm, 1790) 
Most Nottinghamshire records of Prasocuris junci are the result of the extensive recording work of Bob Merritt and all records come from sites within colse proximity to water. The preferred foodplant is Brooklime Veronica beccabunga, from where the beetle derives it's common name of Brooklime Leaf Beetle. The one illustrated here, was found at the edge of a small spring fed pool at Eakring in late May 2021.
