It has a very narrow vertex and the pronotum comes to a sharp point.

Habitat

Normally found on grasses and low vegetation but, in winter, can move to evergreens.

Status and distribution

Widespread and fairly common through most of Britain. Fairly common in Nottinghamshire and recorded once at Netherfield Lagoons.
