| Previously unrecorded in Nottinghamshire until fairly
recently,
this record of Chordeuma proximum from a disused
railway line near King's Clipstone in January 2015,
represented the county's first ever record at the time. Within a few
years, it turned up at Clipstone Old Quarter (part of Sherwood Forest)
and has been recorded underneath the same log there, for several years
now. C.
proximum is known to have a strong south-westerly
distribution in the UK, so further
searching may well reveal this 14mm long species to be
quite common. |
