| This
beautiful Crane Fly was recorded briefly near Calverton in June 2022 by
Nick and Samantha Brownley. Nephrotoma crocata is a stunning
species and a rare species too in Nottinghamshire, with this being the
first traceable record since 1925. There are a handful of older
Nottinghamshire records, including one in close proximity to this, so it
is likely to have been overlooked here in the past almost 100 years.
Grateful thanks go to Nick Brownley for allowing his photograph to be
used to illustrate the species here. |
