Busy week Amgueddfa Caerdydd sorting through samples from Gwent Wildlife Trust Pentwyn Farm meadows #hoppers #researchproject

Found this in grassland in Torfaen, Liam Olds thinks it may be Himacerus boops nymph. Tristan Bantock what do you think? Thanks.

Found Agramma leatum at the same site Tristan Bantock . Do you know if there are any VC35 records of this species?

Fantastic opportunity for someone to become a TCV Natural Talent trainee with us Amgueddfa Caerdydd - I cannot recommend the scheme enough! x.com/olds_liam/stat…
