Marsh Damsel Bug Nabis limbatus

Marsh Damsel Bug Nabis limbatus (Dahlbom, 1851)
Another common Damsel Bug across much of the UK, but in our experience this has proved to be an elusive species in Nottinghamshire. Always with extremely short wings, Marsh Damsel Bug is typically a species of damp grassland, but these adults were all found in wooded habitat near Carburton in August 2009 and Ransom Wood in September 2016.
