Sand Point VC6
For once it was nice weather on the Bank Holiday so I thought I'd spend a couple of hours on the patch. Despite sharing the site with many grockles I still managed to collect some potentially interesting stuff. Everyone who asks thinks I'm collecting butterflies when they see the net, they've never heard of a dipterist (not sure I could get a butterfly in the pooter). Anyway the results are from a previous visit plus an overlooked springtail which were hopping about on the edge of the saltmarsh. It turned out to be Anurida maritima a common marine springtail around all our coasts. Looking back I can see that Seth recorded it in March on Skye.

I have the Anurida too. Awesome pic. Yeah, I've had people thinking I'm catching butterflies too. And with a scope on a tripod i always get "lovely weather for photos!" :D
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes I've had that too with the telescope. One even even started brushing their hair as they thought they were going to be on telly.
