Time to check cupboards and basements, our November #SpeciesOfTheMonth is the ubiquitous Silverfish (Lepisma saccharinum)! Records have increased 1125% since we first targeted the species in Sept 2015, however we still have less than 100 sightings: https://t.co/LWUcoe2p06

Since our followers definitely won't be looking away, here's a thread from @nationaltrust today on important finds by Richard Gallon, our head of Spider Recording Scheme, on the remote Orford Ness shingle ridge this year @cofnod
Arachnophobes, look away! 🕷️ Experts have been reviewing spider populations at our Orford Ness site in Suffolk, which is now said to be 'crawling' with some of Britain's rarest breeds of spiders @BritishSpiders

iRecord/Indicia was due to be back online this morning but some further work is needed - this is being carried out now and we expect to be back later today, and as soon as possible.
Unfortunately iRecord and the Indicia systems will be unavailable from 5 pm on Friday 25 October to 5 pm on Sunday 27 October 2024. This is to allow essential maintenance work to be carried out on the server power supply at UKCEH. We apologise for the inconvenience.

Gall of the week, in what seems to be a good year for it, is that of the agamic generation of the cynipid wasp Neuroterus numismalis on oak, Quercus sp. An example of how many can be squeezed on to one leaf. Photo Peter Shirley.
