| One of
several distinctively shaped and similar coloured
species, Loxocera albiseta is (as far as we
know) the only Loxocera species known from
Nottinghamshire. Belonging to the family Psilidae (Rust
Flies), they are usually found in damp, well vegetated
habitats and virtually all of the county's recent
records, have come from sites in the south-west of the
county. The one below, was found and photographed at
Wollaton Park in August 2018 by Darren Matthews, who very
kindly allowed us to use the accompanying photographs. |
