Found on the flowers of various trees, the ones below, were beaten from the flowers of Sycamore at Gleadthorpe in May 2020. The county's most recent records are from the Chesterfield Canal at Ranby Hall in 2002 (Merritt, B.) Collingham in 2012 (Barnes, C.) and Stoke Bardolph in 2016 (Dutton, A.). | ||
