Zygina flammigera

Zygina flammigera (Fourcroy, 1785)
This tiny species is the commonest of a very tricky group of similarly marked and variable species. Often common in gardens, Z. flammigera overwinters in conifers or dense evergreen shrubs and measures little more than 3mm in length. These were found to be common in a Mapperley garden at Nottingham in March 2011 (lower photographs) and on Gorse at Warsop Main Pit Top in January 2019.
