Sun's out - sieves out! This was from woodland leaf-litter this afternoon. Keys out as Common Chthonid Chthonius ischnocheles, if I'm doing it right. Well-developed ocelli, 4 setae on the rear margin of the cephalothorax. #pseudoscorpions #arachnids #KentNature @vannabartlett.bsky.social

Hand healing nicely, finally ventured out for a little walk. Still plenty of Greenshank around, even 2+ hours past ht (a time by when usually a fair few will have moved off from roost).

A new moth for the garden this evening, Tachystola acroxantha, Australian Irange-tip. A good enough reason to look for books on Australian moths! #kentnature
