This is another of my new bug finds from last year, found while leaf-turning wildflowers and scrub along a path in a wild area of a local park. Meet Capsus ater, from the Miridae family of British plant bugs.

I found this little fellow in early June, when the adults first appear; they can be seen from June right through till September. I was lucky to spot it higher up in the vegetation as they usually feed low down on plant stems, according to the British Bugs website.
