Great talk from Jim Flanagan hosted by the Tanyptera Trust on Damselbugs and Assassin Bugs

I’ve yet to see an Assassin Bug but have seen 2 species of Damselbug, that I can remember

There was also a nice set of heathland specialists recorded at Cooper’s Hill on 8th March, including Kleidocerys ericae at its only current Bedfordshire site, the groundbug Scolopostethus decoratus and the Heath Damselbug, Nabis ericetorum

…I couldn’t match it to a British species so I contacted @britishbugs.bsky.social. After looking at the specimen he identified it as Nabis capsiformis. It’s documented by Tristan at www.britishbugs.org.uk/HetNews/HetN... and really piqued an interest in Hemiptera for me. (2 of 2)

Not rather a damselbug (Nabis sp)?🤓
Nice catches!
