Scymnus auritus (Thunberg, 1795) 
This seems to be a rare ladybird in Nottinghamshire and there appears to be no previous records on the NBN Atlas. This may well be the county's first record of what is another very small species. It was beaten off Oak at Clumber Park in May 2025, by Nick and Samantha Brownley, who kindly provided me with the specimen to for inclusion here.
