A disappointing catch given the favourable conditions. Just 5 species: Common Marbled Carpet (x3), Flounced Chestnut, Black Rustic, Pink-barred Sallow and E postvittana (x5). Also this capsid, which I think is Deraeocoris ruber?
Tony, I don't think the bug is D. ruber. It's worth checking out Tristan Bantock's bug website http://www.britishbugs.org.uk/heteroptera/Miridae/deraeocoris_ruber.html Cheers Barry

Excellent site!...thanks Barry. Appreciate your thoughts on a late record of D. flavilinea (adults June-July). It looks a better match to me.
