Mitopus morio (Fabricius, 1779)  |
| A common
Harvestman, usually found in well vegetated sites and
woodlands. It is widespread across Nottinghamshire, being
especially well recorded from the Sherwood Forest and
Clumber Park areas, but there are few records from anywhere along
the Trent Valley or east of there, which may be entirely down to the
lack of recorder effort. Females are very similar to the females of
Phalangium opilio, so care needs to be taken when identifying this
species. |
