Confusion Species: Sloe Pug
ID pointers: This pug is fairly diagnostic and unlikely to be confused with any other Pug species and fresh specimens are brightly coloured green, hence the name. There is a distinct dark belt around the abdomen, just behind the thorax. This helps to distinguish faded individuals from Sloe Pug, which has a pinkish coloured belt in the same place.
Distribution: A resident species that is fairly common and well distributed throughout Derbyshire.
