Graptus triguttatus

Described as local, this species apparently has an association with Ribwort Plantain.


These two were found together in a pitfall trap in a small meadow. They were keyed but the V-shaped pale marking and the pair of smaller pale markings on the elytra are characteristic of this species.

This one was from the same pitfall trap a little later.
