Deraeocoris ruber
A common plant bug of low vegetation, but especially on Nettles and low Brambles along hedgerows. This bug is usually present at most sites we visit, but these were photographed at Eakring Flash and Budby South Forest in late July 2009. D. ruber is extremely variable in colouration.
