| For some
reason this Pseudoscorpion must have been overlooked in Nottinghamshire,
rather than being genuinely rare. Pselaphochernes scorpioides
is one of the most likely species to turn up in old manure and grass
cutting samples, but
Nottinghamshire's only records to date have come from a pile of rotting
woodchip/bark mulch in Stoke Bardolph Wood, where it was discovered new
to the county by Adrian Dutton in May 2020. It was recorded from the
same site subsequently, but then turned up in a sample of grass cuttings
at Cuckney Church in early 2023. |
