300+ Lincolnshire Update

Had a busy couple of weeks adding just over a hundred species mainly from my garden and paddock. Probably spending to much time glaring at spear thistles and the like, although this paid dividends last evening when I potted up the micro- moth Elachista gleichenella. Apparently this is on the wing a month early and the food plants are not in the near vicinity that I know off, it brings my garden moth list to 840.




The list below may contain errors but with the new Hoverfly book and keys to identification on the internet I feel most are correctly identified some others may differ and correct me. I,m sure Mark will correct me on the Beetles.

  1. Hi Martin, as you predicted ...
    The Pterostichus is madidus with rounded hind-angles to the pronotum, not melanarius which has distinct corners.
    The last photo of the small beetle on the window is Anaspis maculata: quite distinctive for a little brown job and everyone will find this in their squares if they do some beating of hawthorn blossom or other flowering shrubs.
