Dicyphus stachydis (J, Sahlberg, 1878)
Although there are only two squares on the distribution map, Dicyphus stachydis will almost certainly be found to be a more widespread and frequent Mirid bug across the whole of Nottinghamshire. Found easily by sweeping the foliage of Hedge Woundwort (Stachys sylvatica), we found this adult and numerous nymphs, at Cockglode Wood near Ollerton in late July 2017.
