Stenus pusillus
(Stephens, 1833)  |
||
| This seems to be uncommon in Nottinghamshire, but a large element of under-recording might be the reason. Stenus pusillus is one of the smaller species (of which there are several) so identification really requires a specimen under the microscope. The one illustrated below, was one of three found in a wet moss sample, taken from the side of a pond at Warsop Main Pit Top in early May 2020. The county's other records, are from the very south of the county. | ||
