....
Normally (but seemingly not totally restricted to) found in woodland areas with an abundance of Pine Trees, this individual was actually found near the back door of a Tuxford Farm, well away from any Pines. It is common UK species, often found on the trunks and branches of Scots Pine and is probably well distributed throughout Nottinghamshire and often common where it occurs.
