@BarnsleyBRC @AleAmbler @barnsley_nats @SorbyNatHisSoc @earthfast @BlokeFromCas @Spindlelegs @richardhalftwo @RichEd1969 @collieryspoil other localities Little Houghton, New Park Spring, Woolley Colliery, Manvers, all since 2017.
Short-winged Conehead seems less widespread.

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@richardhalftwo @iancbeavis @StevenFalk1 @barnsley_nats Yep

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@AlexGlendinning That could be Tenthredo temula.

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@earthfast @WortleyHall @barnsley_nats @Barnsleybiodiv @BSBIbotany Nice find Roger.

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@ColinandLinda @earthfast @Barnsleybiodiv @barnsley_nats @MothIDUK Now I've just seen a report of one on Silkstone Wagonway!

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

Been looking for this Valerian leaf gall (caused by a psyllid Trioza centranthi) for a year or two around Barnsley and finally found one near the town centre.

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@RSPB_OldMoor Odinia trinotata, a small fly associated with tree wounds and fungi, in this case especially Oak.
Found in the Family hide; only the 2nd Yorks record.

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@richardhalftwo Leucophora, possibly.

[John Coldwell @oxycera]

@richardhalftwo Possibly the fly is a Leucophora, but unfortunately cannot see front of thr head.
