Most amazing to me is that I've recorded 78 additional species of fly in May. Last year I had recorded total 86 by end of June. I'll almost certainly pass last year's year total of 161 in June.
Looking forward to Skye trip now and thinking we need to firm up some plans. Contemplating heading up Thursday night to make the most of it.

Nice. Hope to see some the of range restricted Calliphoridae (and other genera) on Skye.
ReplyDeleteCalliphora uralensis would be nice. I'm hoping to run a bottle trap, or at least to put out some bait for the necrophilous flies.
DeleteThere's a uralensis-shaped hole in the fly fauna up here. Murdo (dipterist at the HBRG) feels it really ought to be here seeing as there are records from relatively close by. All I ever get are vomitoria and a few vicina. Plus a subalpina last week. Rocks at the top of the beach should be the best bet for uralensis, maybe it's just waiting for you to get here? :)
