This is a rare Donacia in Nottinghamshire, with modern VC56
records from Holme Pierrepont in 2011 and Shelford in 2014 (Adrian
Dutton) at Attenborough NR in 2014 (Bob Merritt) and again from Holme
Pierrepont in 2024. It should
perhaps turn up at other
Trent Valley sites, but sometimes, getting close enough to sample
particular areas for Donacias without getting wet, can prove
difficult. The one below, was found on the flowers of Hemlock Water
Dropwort Oenanthe crocata, growing in profusion along the
rowing course at Holme Pierrepont. |
