Pretty interesting on the O.sabulosus. My first also last week despite turning over many, many stones (I think all the stones!)
ReplyDeleteHad my first one of the year last week under stones that I've checked before. Hey, I wonder if it's just we three that check under stones or do you think others may be doing the same elsewhere? Nah, course not - just we three nutters! :)
ReplyDeleteSo where are they until then? Do they secure themselves away in deadwood?
ReplyDeleteprobably in the soil Ali. I think they take up to 2yrs to become mature? Not sure if i've come across any small immature specimens, think they have all been (or very close to) adults? I'm going to have to pay more attention.
ReplyDeleteCan't beat a bit of stone turning lol
