Weekend Finds
/Two new species this weekend. The small shield bug, about the size of a ladybird, is a Woundwort Shieldbug (Eysarcoris venustissimus, #655) found on Hedge Woundwort which grows as a weed quite plentifully around the garden. The fly Suillia variegata (#656) is usually found around decaying stuff; it’s wings are often more marked than this with a black bar and white tips, but the markings are there on some photos, as are the hairs on the wing edge that distinguish this family of flies (Heleomyzidae ).
