When I last did this marlarky in 2014 I recorded 104 species of beetle in the whole year, so 112 species already is not to be sneezed at as the main beetle season is only just starting really.
Congrats on breaching the 6. I missed Gymnocheta last year. I didn't just not see it - I actually missed it! Be disappointed if I don't see it in this square. It's certainly pretty common here too. To be fair I did have compensatory tachinids. Can I get to 700 before you overtake me? I have my doubts
ReplyDeleteHad a sunbathing Gymnocheta here on Skye today too. As the old saying goes, one Gymnocheta does not a summer make, but I reckon two certainly do!
