| The Stiltbugs
are small, difficult to find bugs, living amongst low
vegetation. At a glance, they look like miniature
Damselbugs, but are far smaller. The female Berytinus
signoreti in the lower two photographs, was found by
examining sparsely vegetated, stony ground at Warsop Main
Pit Top in June 2014, but sweep-netting proved to be a
much easier technique in August 2015. There seem to be
few or no modern Nottinghamshire records on the NBN
Gateway. Stiltbug identification as usual, presents some
difficulty from photographs, but B. signoreti
has the club on the second antennal segment brown. |
