Tribe STENODEMINI
Meadow Plant Bug Leptopterna dolabrata - Recorded at the meadows between 6th June and 5th July 2019 and between 13th June and 20th July 2020. I tend to do only small quantities of sweeping through long grass at this time of year as I get so much material with each sweep that if I did any more I'd never get it all processed, but I suspect that if I did more I would find this species in huge numbers. Despite this clearly being a very common bug I haven't found it in my garden yet.

Stenodema laevigata - Night-time records at the meadows on 21st April and 25th May 2019 and then day-time records there on 8th May (2) and 3rd August 2020. None at home in 2019-20 but I've recorded this species here before (in 2018).

Trigonotylus caelestialium - I hadn't found this attractive species prior to 2018 so thought I did really well to get 9 in my garden moth trap that year. Well I trumped that in 2019 with 11 between 25th July (when there were at least 7) and 9th August plus one at the meadows on 22nd August. Then I caught 17 in the garden in 2020 between 31st July (when there were 9) and 16th August and another at the meadows on 7th August.
