This small,
often white coloured Mirid is another species with a
restricted county distribution, but it likely to occur
wherever White Poplar grows. We went in search of this
species in early July 2018 and found it within minutes of
searching. The ones photographed were all found near the
growing tip of the host plant, growing at the roadside at
the entrance to Thoresby Colliery at Edwinstowe. The
county's only other record we know of, is from the
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust's Bentinck Banks NR in
2007 (Kirby, P.). |
