Mitostoma chrysomelas (Hermann, 1804)  |
| A small,
leggy Harvestman with a body length of around 3mm. This
is an inconspicuous species and at first glance may give
the impression of a juvenile Leiobunum. The
adults can be found under logs or amongst leaf litter and
from our own limited number of records, this is an
uncommon Harvestman in Nottinghamshire. There are three
post-2000 Sherwood Forest records and an isolated record
from Bunny Old Wood (per
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust) in 1986, but the recorder is unknown. |
