One of the toughest bugs I've met, active even in 0C - an Ant damsel bug!

A possible Nabis capsiformis(?) in a box of fresh Moroccan raspberries from the supermarket today. (Doesn't say where it was packaged.)
Dorsal view of a thin pale insect about 8.5 mm with long thin legs. Side view of a thin pale insect about 8.5 mm with long thin legs, long antennae and a long curved rostrum (piercing mouthparts).

Meet Nabis roseipennis! He's in the family Nabidae which contains the damsel flies. They're predators, similar to the mantis! They're not picky either, eating anything smaller than themselves and sometimes even each other when food runs low. #bugsky #Nabis #nabidae

These little critters can inflict a quite painful 'bite', I can still feel it an hour after it pierced my finger 😒

2024 Highlights #6. About 15 new Hemiptera for me in Topsham this year, including these lovelies. Apparently two new county records. see ALT text for names etc.
#UKWildlife
#Hemiptera
Nysius huttoni (Lygaeidae). Only known in Britain since 2007, a native of New Zealand. This appears to be the first Devon record. On our house wall, 7 May 2024 Topsham, Devon. Miridius quadrivirgatus (Miridae). A distinctive grassland species. Scarce in Devon but still surprised I've not seen it before. 16 July 2024 Topsham, Devon. Macrotylus solitarius (Miridae). Local on hedge woundwort. Surprisingly rare in the south west: this appears to be the first record for Devon. In the garden, 26 July 2024 Topsham, Devon. Nabis limbatus (Nabidae). Widespread and common in damper grassland. 26 July 2024 Topsham, Devon.

Yes, that strikes me too looking back with more experience of other Nabis, but when I caught mine I’d not done much with bugs - in fact it was my first ever Nabidae! I only thought it might be interesting and worth a closer look because it was in a trap with more migrant moths than resident moths.

I've never actually checked any #VC55 Nabis ferus specimens to exclude Nabis pseudoferus, but this one is definitely ferus!

First record of family Otopheidomenidae Treat (Acari: Mesostigmata) in Central Asia, with description of a new species of Nabiseius Chant & Lindquist
We present the first record of Otopheidomenidae Treat in Central Asia on the basis of a new ectoparasitic species, Nabiseius palifer Joharchi & Khaustov n. sp., collected on damsel bug, Nabis palifer Seidenstücker (Hemiptera: Nabidae), from Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. The new species is described and illustrated based on morphological characters of the adult female and immature stages (including larva and deutonymphal stages) and compared with closely related species.
