This very small Coccinellid was first recorded from Tollerton in 2019
(Golding, G.), this record being followed by one from an
Attenborough garden, when one was beaten from an Ivy covered tree in May
2020. In 2021, it was found through the deliberate beating of Ivy at
Chilwell (Browne, S.) then at
Meadow Lane, Attenborough
(Browne, S. and Slater, N.) and at
Beeston Sidings (Pendleton, T.A). Most UK records are from south-east counties, with records also
coming from parts of the West Midlands, but will almost certainly
increase in the coming years. Thanks go to Tim, for
allowing us to use his photographs (lower two) on the website. |
