With the weather miserable and an upcoming PhD viva, I've not been out much recently. But I've had the microscope out to finish ID work for some of last year's bioblitzes, as well as spending my royalties from the Naturalist's Handbook to Ladybirds on some more ID books, so I spent a few hours going through old samples.

Difficult beetles, I'm coming for you... |
Having collected a load of bits and pieces from flood debris and rotten wood in January, I had a good-sized heap of specimens to check on Saturday afternoon - lots of snails, a few carabids, and various other things. Having ploughed through them, and had a quick wander round the garden looking at plants, mosses and lichens, I've added another 62 species to reach 273 for the square. Highlights were the bright pink lichen-feeding fungus
Illosporiopsis christiansenii and my second ever pseudoscorpion,
Chenes cimicoides, under tree bark, as well as the snails
Valvata piscinalis and
Vallonia costata - less than 5mm long but only the second of either I've ever found!
