Megalonotus chiragra (Fabricius, 1794)  |
||
| This is a small ground bug (Lygaeidae) found on open, sandy sites. There are several very similar species, but Megalonotus chiragra is the commonest of those likely to cause ID confusion. In August 2012, we found a group of these (including nymphs) under some rubbish at a site near Edwinstowe. The nymphs are shown in the lower two photographs. | ||
