Thanks go to Ton Van Haaren for alerting me of the taxonomic change. This has since been reported to NHM and UKSI so the NBN Atlas can be updated.
The main objective of this website is in furthering environmental awareness and education through the medium of photography. To increase awareness and access to the wildlife of the region and help
people find and identify it. Sometimes the difference between species is obvious but many species can only be determined by observing microscopic characteristics that are specific to any one species.
