Mark Telfer and I only went and refound Aulonia albimana on the Isle of Wight two days ago! Quite possibly the best spider find of my life! Lots of other records too. analternativenaturalhistoryofsussex.blogspot.com/2025/10/whit...

I built a thing for me and thought it might be useful for others. It's a set of guides, 20 at the moment, to help with my rubbish memory when doing ids in the field.

Another 2024 wildlife highlight and early in the year, it was amazing to join friends to 'twitch' a new ladybird for NE England - Oenopia conglobata. Just look at how pink it is! 😀🐞 #ladybirds #biologicalrecording
