Olibrus corticalis (Panzer, 1796)  |
||
| Previously recorded just once at Sherwood Forest, by J. R. Tomlin around the turn of the last century, this 2.5mm Olibrus corticalis was surprisingly obvious to locate on a single Ragwort plant, in an area of rough grass on Sherwood Heath SSSI in July 2012. They are common in the south-east of the UK, usually found on flowers in warm weather. | ||
