A
synanthropic species, usually found in houses,
outbuildings and the nests of birds closely associated
with buildings. In terms of known records, Cheiridium
museorum could be thought of as being
Nottinghamshire's most widespread Pseudoscorpion,
with previous records from Southwell in 1962, Newark in
1977 and Sherwood Forest in 1978. The Sherwood Forest
record remained the county's last known occurrence of C.
museorum for almost 40 years, until one was found at
Attenborough in December 2015 and the ones illustrated
below, at Lambley in January 2016. |
