Two micros new to the county

Post date: Nov 19, 2011 11:42:30 PM

Last February Nick Asher sent me his records for 2010, and I've only now managed to get them imported. They include two species that are new to the county: Monopis imella (found in 2009 and again in 2010) and Coleophora lassella (2010). There are also a host of good records of under-recorded micros (in some cases with help on dissections from Peter Hall - thanks Peter), and plenty of new records for the 10km square. Nick's Satellite on 28 December is currently the latest in the year that it's ever been recorded, leaving a small space for someone to find an even later one!
