Late news

I've had some records back from 2011 as I saved some specimens for dissection, which Graham has kindly now done. By coincidence, I had two new garden ticks, both on the same day in May.

One, cream wave, was in a bad way when I found it - not worth a photo. The other was a micro which is one of the hard-to-ID Scoparia species, in this case basistragalis.
