Another rare, or at least rarely recorded weevil in Nottinghamshire.
There are four recent county records (two occurring within the same 1km
grid square) from the Proteus Square and Buck Gates areas forming part
of the Sherwood Forest NNR (Denton, M.L. et
al) and from the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust's Clarborough
Tunnel NR (Kirby, P.) in the north-east
of the county. All three of these records came in 2002 but one turned up
more recently, in a leaf litter sample taken from the base of an
over-mature Beech at Cuckney in March 2023
(Pendleton, T.A.). |
