| Another Harvestman which is
recently new to the UK, first being recorded in 2020. There soon
followed occasional records of Dicranopalpus larvatus from
other widely spaced parts of the country including Norfolk, Yorkshire
and Caernarvonshire and although still very rare, the number of sites
have since showed an increase. It is unusual compared to other species,
in that it matures later in the year than other harvestmen and so should
be looked for from late Autumn through to Spring. Nottinghamshire's
first record, came with a female found under a small section of rotting
wood, near the former kitchen garden at Woodthorpe Park in early April
2023 (Pendleton, T.A.). |
