Looking for more bugs 31st May
A great morning out with plenty of new species seen today and perhaps my personal favourite is Pammene rhediella found flitting about on Malus. A warm sunny day and even the on shore wind couldn't do much to change the summery feel to the day. On the bird front 2 Grey Plover were in the bay picked up on call as the tide rolled in but overhead there was no visible migration.

Tenthredo notha is a common species but 2 others equally common need to be separated by examinatiin of saw. Did you do this?
ReplyDeleteThanks David. Schaefferi, nitidior (brevicornis), arcuata are all similar to notha from what I can see on the internet although Schaefferi looks to be absent from the UK. I'd be interested to hear about any gen det info.
