I now see it widely in Carms, though seldom remember to record it, and it's pretty frequent on the shaded wall of our rural cottage.<br /><br />As for SE England, I saw at least one Megabunus on a tree trunk in woodland on a chalk down above Chichester last month whilst looking for epiphytes (Ulota coarctata, George).sambbryohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371859974181157877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541969416563942273.post-63154977894229033242014-04-27T15:53:16.750+01:002014-04-27T15:53:16.750+01:00I'm pretty sure I had M. diadema at Parc Slip ...I'm pretty sure I had M. diadema at Parc Slip this week - I was actually going to post a picture on here for someone to id for me.

The SRS map does make you wonder if there are two forms of the species with different habitat preferences.<br /><br />I had a Platybunus triangularis in the garden the other day, which is the very early maturing species.Adam Mantellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825643943800910778noreply@blogger.com
