Long-winged Conehead

Conocephalus discolor

female - Nottinghamshire, England - September 2017

Long-winged Coneheads are recent colonisers of Nottinghamshire with the first of this formerly Red Data list species only being recorded in 2007. Ten years later they can be found abundantly along the banks of the River Trent at Attenborough and are most easily detected by the use of a bat detector as their high-pitched songs are beyond the hearing of most people.
