Rhopalus subrufus - One at the Cathedral Meadows on 25th May 2019, a smart new bug for me. More in 2020 starting with the first for my garden on my patio door on 11th April, then singles at the meadows on 26th June and 20th July and then 2 swept at Whitwell Street on 12th August.

Stictopleurus abutilon - Singles found at the Cathedral Meadows on 8th and 11th September 2020, a new species for me, both found feeding on Yarrow (one at night and the other during the day). Having only recently found S. punctatonervosus not very far away I was fully expecting these to be the same, but upon close examination they proved to be this one.
