This seems to be a rare
Shieldbug in Nottinghamshire and as far as we are aware, there are just
four sites where it is known to have occurred. It was first recorded in
Nottinghamshire from Warsop Main Pit Top in 2007
(Pendleton, T.A. and Pendleton, D.T.),
followed by two records from a
brownfield site at Langar in 2015, but adults have occurred each Spring
in a Toton garden since 2008 (Lygo, B.). As it's name suggests,
it is associated with Forget-me-not and adults occur from
August and over-winter. |
