A very short blog! Following on from my post earlier in the year on all things tiny, the best find of the year turned up in one of the moth traps on the night of 25th September in Hazeleigh Wood. The pseudoscorpion Dendrochernes cyreneus, is very rare in the UK, a Red Data Book species that inhabits ancient woodland and lives under bark etc. on the south facing side of trees. It is an ancient woodland indicator and is found at just a few sites including Burnham Beeches, St James Park, Windsor Park and Sherwood Forest so Hazeleigh joins an elite bunch! It is almost a giant amongst UK pseudoscorpions, of which there are 27 species, but is none-the-less rather small at no more than 4.5mm in size. It is, however, an impressive looking beast
