We've removed some terrapins and freshwater turtles from PSL - the rationale is explained here panspecieslisting.com/turnin…

It seems that most of the British biodiversity community has jumped ship to BlueSky this week, so we've created @panspecieslisting.bsky.social. Twitter account will remain for the time being too - we'll see how things shake out.

Several new subgroups added into PSL filters tonight - check out the rankings for macro- and micro-moths, as well as muscid, tachinid, sarcophagid and tephritid flies

First in a series of PSL articles on species that are commonly mis-named. This one's from @graemelyons, and it's on those larger house spiders. panspecieslisting.com/eratig…

And of course, it becomes the first record of the species on @PSListing 😀✅
At long last, and well overdue, I seem to have found a 'first for Britain'. Say hello to the woodlouse Chaetophiloscia elongata. Found from upper saltmarsh / seawall in north Kent in June. Thanks to the good folk on the isopod/myriopod Facebook group for confirming!
ALT Philoscia muscorum on left, Chaetophiloscia elongata on the right
ALT Chaetophiloscia elongata; note shape of telson (i.e. rear end)

A great weekend at @GlobalBirdfair running a pan-species listing stall, we clocked up 641 species too! Read all about it here tinyurl.com/2p85exmp

V enjoyable weekend @GlobalBirdfair talking all things @PSListing alongside @graemelyons and @bubomike. Managed to fit in 11 lifers. Here are Himacerus boops (swept by GL), Loricula elegantula (beaten by GL) and the case of Coleophora anatipennella on Blackthorn by the campsite

This is a brilliant new feature, puts your find into context and shows when you've added a species no one else has. Sign up, it's free!
Nice new feature on @PSListing. When you add a new species, you now get info on how many other people have recorded it on similar lists

Another new element to the PSL website is increased links with both the @NBNAtlas and @iRecordWildlife. We're keen to see more join up between some of the key wildlife recording systems. More details at panspecieslisting.com/great-…
New feature now out on PSL website. We've subdivided many of the existing taxa groups into smaller sub-groups, to allow for more refined comparisons and target-hunting. So you can look for your hoverfly ranking, top sawfly target or top orchid blocker

Really looking forward to seeing this in the flesh!
Check out the cover! Got some work to do on it in the autumn after the field season but getting there! pelagicpublishing.com/produc…

And if anyone is lucky enough to come across this cracking new sawfly, @PSListing is ready for you.
Exciting new British sawfly photographed this week by @angst_pp in Suffolk (reproduced here). This is Macrophya teutona; feeds on Cypress Spurge + some other Euphorbia spp. Pretty unmistakeable for a sawfly. Probably imported but known from just over the channel so possibly not?

Oberea linearis, new for Britain. Now available on @PSListing
If your missing species still isn't available, it may well be that it's in the list under a different name. The UKSI Sandbox (uksi-sandbox.nhm.ac.uk/) can help you find these synonyms, or else just ask and I'll see if I can help. (Note that no more plant hybrids added yet tho').
UPDATE: If you've noted species that you were unable to add to your PSL, it's worth checking again, as lots of those noted as 'missing' (via direct messages & in list comments) have now been added.

If you have a) Red Mason Bees (Osmia bicornis) in a 'bee hotel', and b) a @PSListing list, you might want to check out this easy tick, new for me today in the garden naturespot.org.uk/species/Ca…
