Seen some scarce species over the last few days - Oedostethus quadripustulatus (Click Beetle), 3rd Norfolk record, Hybomitra muehlfeldi (Broadland Horsefly), Elaphria venustula (Rosy Marbled, tiny macro moth), 2nd VC27 record, Trichiosoma lucorum (a spectacular sawfly), Plateumaris braccata (one of Seth's favorites I seem to recall) and Malthinus balteatus, a scarce cantharid beetle. And not only that, I've now passed the 1251 species I recorded doing the 1 km square challenge in 2014.
I will confess that I didn't have much of a clue what I was doing in 2014, it was loads of moths plus vaguely wandering around the square with a camera hoping other people would identify things for me. Tut Tut. So I know a lot more about things that move now. Still don't know much about things that don't have six or eight legs though.

I have no idea how you know about braccata being a fave of mine, I must have mentioned it somewhere, obviously - but when/where!?!?! Hindlegs like John Wayne, as I recall the late Ian Menzies telling me, and it makes those lovely, distinctive holes in Phragmites. Been forever since I last saw one. Ten years, easily.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on beating your 1251 species as seen in 2014 (back when you were clearly an inept novice....) I think 2K is well within your reach. Providing you quit this gallavanting 'round the country, that is :D
Congrats, Tim. Still ticking along nicely
ReplyDeleteThanks guys. Just getting stuff together for the long drive, leaving early tomorrow and staying at Moffat overnight, should be at Uig about lunchtime I would think. Treat me gently please.
ReplyDeleteMoffit's a nice little town to spend a quiet evening. Seem to remember having some nice meals there on a bryophyte meeting. See you Friday!
