Another Ceredigion rarity - small marbled

A rare immigrant from my garden in Aberaeron last night. Very small and if I wasn't now checking all micros too (started this year) then I would have ignored this as "just another micro" ☺️

Not sure about previous Ceredigion records but there are none for Ceredigion on iRecord that I can see and not that many for the whole of the UK.

  1. I had another last night so now have two specimens. Will post the second photo later as it has stronger markings. Will retain until tonight if anyone wishes to see them - last and only records were from 2015 in Aberystwyth.

  4. It's incredible isn't it? It's only about 7mm long. A marvel.
