Dicranopalpus ramosus  |
||
| ...... | ||
| This Harvestman is a relatively new species to the UK. Originally of Mediterranean origin, Dicranopalpus ramosus is still relatively rare in the UK. It is on the increase, although records in more northern areas of the country are few. It was first recorded at Sherwood Forest CP in 2002 and is still occasionally found on the visitor centre buildings and easily identifiable by it's characteristic resting posture. We recorded our first on the wall of the tourist information centre at Sherwood Heath in September 2009, but then found another at Market Warsop Church and six on a wall at Barn Owl Close, Market Warsop. | ||
