Broadholme, Lincs Update (400)


Some 80 species added in the last week mainly from sweeping around the big pond which has a good area of water meadow. The highlight came yesterday when I netted a moth in flight which looks good for Grapholita lunulana, this would be a new Lincolnshire record for this northern species. I will dissect it tonight for confirmation. Also recorded Marsh Pug from the meadow which I do every year and find it to be common in Lincs when I  specifically look for it. 
It is the first time I have looked for the Longhorn Beetles there are some beauties out there.
Still need some warm nights to get the moth species list up, although the garden year list is up to 100.

  1. Martin,
    Your longhorn beetle is Pogonocherus hispidulus. Not sure the Donacia is vulgaris. I've got links on my website to the ID guide:

  2. Thanks Mark, wrote the incorrect name from the web, realise now that the Donacia is a Leaf Beetle and could one of a few. Not sure how to obtain the link for the Donacia,s.

    Regards Martin Gray

  3. The spiders are probably xysticus cristatus (should really be confirmed by genitalia) and metellina mengei/segmentata (again should be confirmed by genitalia, although males can be identified by hair length on meta-tarsus 1 - your example is possibly a young female m.segmentata)
