| A scarce Harvestman at
Sherwood Forest, with just a handful of records and not seen at all
between September 2009 and September 2021 when recorded under a
log near where the Sherwood Forest CP meets Budby South Forest and found
in company with Oligolophus tridens
and Paroligolophus agrestis. The most recent record concerns
two individuals found by grubbing around small pockets of leaf litter
and lifting Heather, in an area of grassy heathland within the Country
Park. Despite being a small species, Lophopilio palpinalis is
noticeably reddish, the legs are clearly annulated and obviously
different to those with experience with identifying Opiliones. |
