Megaloceroea recticornis
This is a common plantbug of grassy areas, identifiable by the very long antennae and long hind femur. Several Megaloceroea recticornis were easily found by sweep netting long grass in an open area of Sherwood Forest CP in July 2011, yet this was the species' first occurrence in the Sherwood Forest NNR.
