1st May - Pan-species list update

Posted by Graeme Lyons , Tuesday 1 May 2012 20:48

It's been three months since I posted an update on changes to my list so here it is. I last updated on the 31st January 2012 and I was on 3749 species. Between February and April, I added 125 species and ended the month on 3874 species. My favourite was my second 'first for Sussex beetle', the nationally scarce Pogonocherus fasciculatus which also appeared in the local rag!
