This is a rare Sciomyzid in Nottinghamshire, with a patchy UK
distribution which includes East Anglia and the East Midlands. The two
in cop below, were recorded and photographed by Peter Smith at Netherfield Lagoons in
October 2020 and seems to be only the second record for Nottinghamshire.
The only Nottinghamshire record listed on the NBN Atlas is from Tippings
Wood at Blidworth, where it was recorded during a Dipterists Forum
Weekend of recording in 2015. Thanks go to Peter Smith for providing the
photograph below. |
