Shore Bug Saldula
saltatoria (Linnaeus, 1758) ![]() |
||
Shore Bugs represent a difficult group of similar looking small bugs, found near water. Saldula saltatoria is the commonest of the 11 UK species and our only record to date, comes from the edges of several shallow pools on the site of the former sand quarry at Market Warsop in April 2013. Quite difficult to photograph, they are able to take flight easily and even land on the water surface, to avoid capture. Size 4mm. | ||
