Having a quick visit of the invertebrate records for Cullaloe and especially the 2002 Invertebrate Survey. Puliing the numbers together for where we currently are I see that there have been almost 500 species recorded. I have a feeling that after the 2002 survey something about half of that was the total. Most significantly the number of
Lepidoptera is hugely greater through moth trapping, and the
Diptera total is more than double. The 2002 report I have only in paper form, so I can publish a comparison once I've digitised the numbers.
