A 2 hours 45 minutes session at Casehill Woods, Dinas Powys, last night produced 52 species, the highlight being a little black and white micro Telechrysis tripuncta, which I think is the first county record since 1938. Shame I didn't get a better photo...

I've now seen Little Thorn in 5 different woods in Glamorgan and Monmouthshire within the last week, having never seen it previously. Is it having a great year or have I just been lucky?
That A geoffrella is fantastic. I would't mind seeing Blomer's Rivulet either: we don't get them up here.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, how do you get the picture title within the frame of the picture?

ReplyDeleteI'd always wanted to see geofrella, and now I've seen two in a week (the other in Monmouthshire).
