Orius majusculus (Reuter, 1879)
Most (if not all) Anthocoridae, are very difficult to safely identify to species level. Orius majusculus can be found on low vegetation across many different habitats and our own recent records include singles from the Trent Valley at Hoveringham and from our own garden at Market Warsop. Probably widespread and common across much of Nottinghamshire.
