Stictopleurus punctatonervosus
One of two Stictopleurus species, that have only fairly recently become established in the UK. Originally, both species were originally most frequent in the counties of Kent and Essex, but both have spread rapdily further north through central and southern parts of the UK. Stictopleurus punctatonervosus is the commoner of the two and identification between them is difficult and slight. This adult was found on the dead flowers of Yarrow, on Budby South Forest in mid-November 2010.
