Miris striatus

Miris striatus (Linnaeus, 1758)
Miris striatus is a common and fairly large and attractive species, but in Nottinghamshire seems largely restricted to the Sherwood Forest area. This may just be down to observer coverage though, as there is a record from Attenborough NR in the south of the county. There are many species of Miridae across the UK and some will be familiar to most people with an interest in natural history. The nymph is shown in the lower two photographs.
