cheiropachus quadrum seen in Jersey today on deadwood. A new addition to my list

29/06/26, jersey sand pit, cylindromyia brassicaria…. i think. Welcome any thoughts @chrisraper.bsky.social

A rather cool find from a Jersey sand pit location yesterday, a Mediterranean plume footed mite, eatoniana plumipes #arachnid

Two new beetles from my garden in Jersey today, malthinus seriepunctatus and m.balteatus #beetles

Paykullia maculata and peplomyza litura sheltering from the heat in a Jersey woodland today #diptera

A cracking new addition to my garden list, Platynaspis luteorubra, #beetle, #ladybird pays to keep a close eye on the walls of the house!

A couple of locally rare (or more likely under recorded) visitors to my Jersey garden today, diplazon laetatorius I think and closterotomus trivialis.

Love these #flies, acrosathe annulata on coastal duneland this morning #diptera

Aradus depressus, a nice find in the garden this afternoon #bugs

Some #diptera highlights from a wander down val de la mare reservoir. Possibly, Gastrolepta anthracina (m), platycheirus manicatus (f), a paragus sp (m). And a compromyzinae sp. The first two would be new finds for me

Several beris morrisii ( yellow-legged legionnaires) seen in Jersey woodland today. #diptera

Couple of nice finds from a Jersey woodland trip this afternoon, the #spider diaea dorsata, and the #hoverfly rhingia campestris being highlights.

Delightful amber snail from a macroinvertebrate survey yesterday

I think this caddis larvae keys out nicely to hydropsyche angustipennis, a potentially new caddis fly to be recorded in the Channel Islands if verified. From a macroinvertebrate survey in the NE of Jersey this morning

Ichneumon wasp on the wall of the house today, not seen one quite as dull brown as this one

A new tipulidae for me today from the west of the Island, tipula vernalis male I think. Will be a 1st for Jersey too if verified.
