This tiny Coccinellid has been recorded from Nottinghamshire on a couple
of occasions. It was first recorded
by Nigel Slater as new to
Nottinghamshire
from
Meadow Lane, Attenborough on 14/08/21
and this remained the county's only known record to date, until another
was recorded during an invertebrate survey of Lambley's Trinity Church
in 2023.
In July 2024, Stethorus pusillus was found in good numbers,
attacking heavy infestations of
the Gorse Mite
Tetranchyus lintearius,
near the South Lawns area of Clumber Park.
This
species is found widely over much of the south-east UK and across into
the West Midlands. |
