Common Damsel Bug Nabis rugosus
A small Damsel Bug which is common in grassy areas. This species is always Macropterous (fully winged) which helps identification to a degree. These bugs can be swept from vegetation very easily during the late Summer, but the adult shown below right, was actually found on a kitchen wall in Market Warsop in early August 2009.
