A nocturnal visit (well, 7pm anyway) added a few species to the year list, but also this Nabis ferus to the reserve list as bug #80. Interestingly this is the 2nd species I've added this year which I found in the Cullaloe Hills in February of last year. I can't explain why in all the sweeping of the same area during spring-autumn I've never knowingly seen this one before. However, this is the first year the "flower meadow" hasn't been mown. not sure that will be good for the botanical site monitoring later. Be interesting to see how the area responds to not being mown.
