False
Scorpions are grossly under-recorded in Nottinghamshire
and modern records are few and far between but thankfully now increasing. There
appeared to be no post-2000 Nottinghamshire records of Chthonius
ischnocheles, until it was found by Tim Sexton at
Attenborough NR in 2015 (lower photographs), then turned
up later the same year at Nottingham Trent University's
Brackenhurst Campus by Liam Andrews. Other recent records
include Crew Lane at Southwell in 1963, several records
from Sherwood Forest and Cuckney. |
