Isle of Wight Wildlife Recording Challenge 2020

Here is the complete list of flora and fauna recorded during my self-set wildlife recording challenge. My aim was to see 2020 species on the Isle of Wight during the year and despite the lockdown it was a success with 2211 species recorded and two where two subspecies were recorded. Ten aggregate taxa were included where identification to species was not possible. The list includes naturalised non-native species, accidentally introduced species, a few free-living escapes, feral species and one deliberate introduction. More than 1850 species were photographed.

A number of species on the list had not been recorded previously on the Isle of Wight. These new county records are highlighted in pink. Several more, potentially new species that are still to be checked, are highlighted in orange. Blue text indicates species I hadn’t seen before.

Species are listed by taxonomic group with the date and location of the first record of the year. Some were recorded on many occasions throughout the year.

I am immensely grateful for the help and support I received throughout the year. Keeping me up to date with news, specimens, moth nights, tips on where to look for plants, forays and particularly help with plant identification. Hopefully there aren’t any mistakes but if there are, they are entirely my own.

Spiders and harvestmen

I haven’t spent much time looking for spiders in the past but this year recorded fifty-two species. They don’t appear to receive much attention and there are very few records in the IWNHAS database. I have yet to check the records held by LRC but from the distribution maps on the Spider Recording Scheme there are potentially three new county records

Fungi

135 taxa recorded. Having little previous experience with fungi this was a rewarding area of study. Early in the year focusing on host-specific rust fungi and smuts. Spores were examined where necessary to clinch identification. During the autumn I was fortunate enough to join a couple of fungus forays with experienced mycologists.

Plant bugs, aphids and scale insects

123 species recorded, frequently colleted from moth trap by-catch. There were 13 new county records, mostly of aphids. Roughly 670 species of aphid have been found in Britain and they are largely overlooked so it is relatively simple to find species new to the county. Many are host specific or host alternate which aids in their identification.

Butterflies and moths

763 species recorded, including a few from James Halsey’s and Andy Butler’s moth traps in Bonchurch and Wheeler’s Bay respectively. Some were identified as larvae others were confirmed by dissection of adult specimens where necessary.
