Entomology Update - August 2025

August was a varied month, a little rain (not enough), heatwaves, but some notable finds. 


For the first time ever I've managed to identify a Kybos leafhopper to species level. That's where the problems started. 

Have I stumbled across a useful finding?

The ups and downs of entomological aspiration...

Insect populations are declining. They are declining fastest in urban areas (including Leicester which is included in this study). 

August notable finds:
Spiked Shieldbug, Picromerus bidens
