WHITLINGHAM: Ectemnius and a Backswimmer

September 2021

A couple of visits to Whitlingham, one of which was the WeBS count, but the most notable things were a large Ectemnius wasp (I had hoped that with reasonable photos I might be able to identify this to species - E. cephalotes was my suggestion, but the resounding silence on the BWARS Facebook page suggests it probably has to stay at genus) and Notonecta glauca, one of the Backswimmer family of water boatmen.
