Still Waters Posted February 23, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A host of rare and previously unseen bugs and insects have been discovered at a conservation estate in the Highlands – including some creatures that were feared to be extinct. Unusual finds in the past 12 months include a midge never before found in the UK and a fierce-looking pseudoscorpion, thought to live only south of the River Tay. The latest discoveries bring the total UK biodiversity “firsts” found at Dundreggan, on the shores of Loch Ness, to 11. Researchers at the charity Trees for Life, which runs the 10,000-acre estate, said the Glen Moriston site is proving to be a “lost world” for wildlife. http://www.scotsman.com/news/environment/bugs-and-insects-feared-extinct-discovered-near-loch-ness-1-4374161 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
