The occurrence of this small ladybird in a Market Warsop garden in July
2023, seems to represent the first record for Nottinghamshire.
Scymnus interruptus is similar to several other Scymnus
species and can be identified without the need for dissection. Uusally
found in gardens across much of south-eastern part of the UK, it
appreas to be spreading north and the Market Warsop record is one of the
most northerly. It favours a variety of evergreen shrubs and Ivy covered
walls etc. The one illustrated below, was found on a large Ceonothus. |
