I've yet to total it but its in excess of 500 species (macro & micro) for 3 years of dedicated traping, sorting and identifying!
Here are the two new species, both have had better days unfortunately!
Dark Spinach

Hope your new domicile has good mothing prospects Ben, over 500 ! man that is impressive
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move. I'd struggle to leave my garden and start again, but I suppose that the new sites will be a new challenge and hopefully some new species. No Waved Black, Scarce Silver Lines or Dark Spinach down here, nice finale.
ReplyDeletebest wishes,
