| | | Damsel bug, marsh or reed?
Hi,
is it possible to get this one to species? I'm fairly sure that it is a male of either Nabis lineatus or N. limbatus but can't say which. There were lots about and they all seemed slender, with hindsight I should have looked for a female. The habitat, pondside vegetation, could be right for either.

i'm going to plump for Marsh but, be warned, I'm no expert.
Hope someone else can say for sure
Cheers, Ashe |

Yep, limbatus for me as well - the connexivium is broad, and that genital terminal looks spot on.  |

Thanks both,
I thought that limbatus was more likely as its much more common but good to check. It is still a first for me
