Mid-October 2022
On the way home one evening I cut through a small wood and had a look for insects on an Elm leaf. I spotted several young aphids, but nearby was an alate (winged adult). I was able to identify it as Pale Japanese Elm Aphid (Tinocallis nevskyi), a new species for me. My pictures aren't very good but you can find out more about it on the Influential Points website here: Tinocallis nevskyi (pale Japanese elm aphid) identification, images, ecology, control (influentialpoints.com) Incidentally the first UK records were from Norfolk, when Graham Hopkins found it in Great Yarmouth in 1995.
