| A seemingly
scarce species in Nottinghamshire of dry, sandy habitats,
although it is doubtless under recorded and requires
quite careful searching to find. It is one of three very
similar species which can make identification difficult,
although Stygnocoris rusticus is usually
brachypterous (short-winged) and identifiable from good
photographs. Stygnocoris rusticus has rarely
been recorded in Nottinghamshire, but there is an
historical record for Sherwood Forest dating to 1912. The
one photographed was found at Vexation Lane near
Edwinstowe, in October 2015. |
