| A small, elongate bug which has two forms,
with both fully-winged (macropterous) and small-winged
(micropterous) adults. Once
known from just a handful of Kent and Surrey sites, this
Lygaeid has increased its range enormously and
is still expanding away from its original south-east
localities. Although no doubt very common in wetland
areas of Nottinghamshire, there are currently few
records. These micropterous adults, were found hidden
between the dead leaves of Bulrush, in the conservation
area of Rufford Country Park and at Meden Vale in
February 2013. |
