I think this could be the Damsel bug Nabis ferus? Seen 02/08/25 at Doxey Marshes, #Staffs @c-forrest-king.bsky.social @rockwolf74.bsky.social @britishbugs.bsky.social #Nabidae

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

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

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

Nabis ferus

Nabis ferus paramere

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