Unknown
in the UK until first recorded from a Sheffield garden in 2010. It has
since been found
at Glasgow and Aberdeen in Scotland, Northern Ireland and in the UK at
Yorkshire, Northampton and a number of other towns, with an increase in
records shown over the past few years and which is probably due to an
increased interest in Harvestmen.
Found for the first time in
Nottinghamshire at Gleadthorpe near Meden Vale in May 2020, with
fieldwork conducted over the course of Spring 2021, showing it to have a
much wider range in the area local to the intitial record than first
thought and most easily found by searching the smooth trunks of Beech
and Sycamore. Juveniles can be found in leaf litter over the Winter
months. |
