Lithobius melanops new to Cullaloe LNR

Taking the reserve list to 2385, this one dropped from the standing dead Horse Chestnut at the reserve entrance

Cullaloe list booster

This week I discovered a new record source in the form of Bubo Pan-species Listing site. A contributor there had several Cullaloe LNR records which had not been included. I haven't quite finished going through this process but so far we're at 2367 species (see that page for details).

Since I broke through the 2500 at Dalgety Bay last year it only makes sense to turn my attention to rounding out the 2.5k At Cullaloe. Beetles especially are under-represented, and since the Beetles of GB & I is finally complete it would be rude not to concentrate on them.

This is what ten years of accretion looks like:

As can be seen from the second graph almost everything has hit a plateau since I turned my attention elsewhere and got fed up of removing Ticks! Given the mild winter so far I expect that only to be worse in 2025.
