It’s getting harder to find new species after 14 years’ fieldwork at Cruachan, Argyll (VC98) but Dictenidia bimaculata and Xanthandrus comtus were notable additions from last week’s survey @DipteristsForum @CRStipula

Aromia moschata remains a rare longhorn beetle in Scotland so it was fantastic to find three on Angelica in fen woodland at Glenlee (VC73) this week - a very large and impressive creature @NLonghornRS @swseic

Absolute scenes at Loch Awe, Argyll (VC98) when a moth trap session turned into a beetle drive. These are some of the 71 Necrodes littoralis recovered from three traps at Cruachan PS @AshWhiffin @SilphidaeUk About 5% were red forms. What a carri-on!

@crawley_mick Amazing thread, so interesting. You've inspired me to have a look at the oaks near me

[lostboyy35 @blueleafnature]

@StevenFalk1 @SoldierfliesRS @kitenet Thank you Steven. Unfortunately I wasnt able to get the specimen

[lostboyy35 @blueleafnature]

@SoldierfliesRS @kitenet @StevenFalk1 can I please get an opinion on this strikingly reddish-toned Hybomitra found on mire habitat at Isle of Seil, Argyll (VC98) on 21/6?

[lostboyy35 @blueleafnature]

@robdaw67 @BC_Scotland @nature_scot @ScotWildlife @BC_SWScotland @savebutterflies @ukbutterflies Thanks Rob. Great info!

[lostboyy35 @blueleafnature]

@robdaw67 @BC_Scotland @nature_scot @ScotWildlife @BC_SWScotland @savebutterflies @ukbutterflies Great info, thanks. It's off the reserve but one for me to watch out for next time

[lostboyy35 @blueleafnature]

@robdaw67 @BC_Scotland @nature_scot @ScotWildlife @BC_SWScotland @savebutterflies @ukbutterflies Didn't see the Small Copper, was that on the mire? It's a great show of orchids througout the site and lots of other nice nectar plants
