I reckon I saw this at Box Hill the other week, how do you record if it’s not on the UKSI yet please?

@britishbugs.bsky.social Hi Tristan, what’s this shieldbug nymph please? Swept a few from a ruderal site in Essex. I’m wondering about both Peribalus strictus and Neottiglossa pusilla

Snap! Had one in my Hackney moth trap on the 8th. Your post helped me ID, cheers!

@britishbugs.bsky.social Hi Tristan, can Stictopleurus punctatonervosus have an unbanded connexivum like this please?

The site seemed to have vegetated with Sea Milkwort quite rapidly from last year’s visit and I found it on a low west-facing bank (bottom right of photo) at the very east of the site in the evening sun @britishspiders.bsky.social

The other week saw me locate Attulus distinguendus at West Thurrock at the second time of asking - I watched it hunting from the tops of rocks protruding from ash for half an hour while I played it England’s first test victory

Netted Pug found my Hackney trap last night, probably dispersing from the chalk around Hertford, more than ten miles away @wlangdon12.bsky.social

This species is very common in Bialowieza, Poland. The males fly around like madmen like Emperors do back home but finally cold weather and sun yesterday allowed me to see one stationary! @richardkbroughton.bsky.social

Spent days unsuccessfully checking early-flowering blossom in Hackney trying to find Osmia cornuta but instead find one cowering on the pavement in a rainstorm! Very happy to have finally connected with this new colonist

Wrinkled Webcap Cortinarius lividoochraceus, I believe, from a couple of visits to Epping Forest recently, one of the few fungi fruiting in dry conditions
