Great find!

Thanks David. I'll go back and properly count the population - there seems to be a good number over a largish area (about a football field in size). They were quite easy to spot once I got my eye in. Very quiet chuffing song, almost impossible to hear when a Roesel was nearby.

@vc40orthops.bsky.social Are these OK for Short-winged Conehead? Based on the wing tips and cerci, I've convinced myself that they are not just LWC nymphs, but this could just be wishful thinking! Old River Bed in Shrewsbury today, sedge swamp, about 10 individuals, both male and female. Thanks!

Counted 120 spikes of Toothwort this weekend on Benthall Edge, Ironbridge Gorge, Shropshire #wildflowerhour #woodlandplants
