Leiopus nebulosus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Another longhorn beetle, although it's small size (body length around 10mm) in comparison with some other Cerambycidae, means that it is quite inconspicuous. Leiopus nebulosus is a longhorn that we do not often come across and we currently have few records. The one in the upper four photographs being found at Warsop Wood in May 2011, whist the other was one of our two Sherwood Forest NNR records.
