It seems that most of the British biodiversity community has jumped ship to BlueSky this week, so we've created @panspecieslisting.bsky.social. Twitter account will remain for the time being too - we'll see how things shake out.
Several new subgroups added into PSL filters tonight - check out the rankings for macro- and micro-moths, as well as muscid, tachinid, sarcophagid and tephritid flies
@sjthomasbotany Now updated within @PSListing, with notes that should hopefully guide people in the right direct, although errors will doubtless arise from this. Fancy writing an article for our new Species Guidelines? (as per https://t.co/mOWXx19ziU)
First in a series of PSL articles on species that are commonly mis-named. This one's from @graemelyons, and it's on those larger house spiders. https://t.co/362lp80oev
V enjoyable weekend @GlobalBirdfair talking all things @PSListing alongside @graemelyons and @bubomike. Managed to fit in 11 lifers. Here are Himacerus boops (swept by GL), Loricula elegantula (beaten by GL) and the case of Coleophora anatipennella on Blackthorn by the campsite
PSL/BUBO Listing will be at the @GlobalBirdfair
next weekend (12th-14th Jul). Come and say hello if you're there. See more details at https://t.co/0eHdt2iSE4

Another new element to the PSL website is increased links with both the @NBNAtlas and @iRecordWildlife. We're keen to see more join up between some of the key wildlife recording systems. More details at https://t.co/cs4qLfb2Yu
New feature now out on PSL website. We've subdivided many of the existing taxa groups into smaller sub-groups, to allow for more refined comparisons and target-hunting. So you can look for your hoverfly ranking, top sawfly target or top orchid blocker

Exciting new British sawfly photographed this week by @angst_pp in Suffolk (reproduced here). This is Macrophya teutona; feeds on Cypress Spurge + some other Euphorbia spp. Pretty unmistakeable for a sawfly. Probably imported but known from just over the channel so possibly not?
If your missing species still isn't available, it may well be that it's in the list under a different name. The UKSI Sandbox (https://t.co/rKk2gyZKt9) can help you find these synonyms, or else just ask and I'll see if I can help. (Note that no more plant hybrids added yet tho').
UPDATE: If you've noted species that you were unable to add to your PSL, it's worth checking again, as lots of those noted as 'missing' (via direct messages & in list comments) have now been added.
