Bristol #NewYearPlantHunt

A new suborder for the UK: Cyphophthalmi, mite harvestmen! Species-level identification still needs to take place but exciting nonetheless. 1 juvenile and 1 adult female. At only 2mm it will be the smallest British harvestman. Likely introduced. Royal Fort Gardens, Bristol.

Reminder about the talk in Abbots Leigh on Tuesday 7th Jan: Prof. Jane Memmott £8 on the door, children free. Includes a welcome drink and a packet of flower seeds for your garden, patio or meadow. The X4 bus stops just outside, by the George Inn.

Checking some spider from Troopers Hill, Bristol under the microscope: Trochosa terricola (m), Trochosa terricola (f), Cnephalocotes obscurus (m), and Zelotes apricorum (f).
