Summary
1. The authors spent ten days (2-11 June 2022) recording insects in Strathspey and
the north-west Cairngorms concentrating on flies, bees and aculeate wasps.
2. Twelve sites, which collectively provided a good range of the local habitats, were
subject to fairly detailed one-day or half-day surveys.
3. The survey work generated 1,561 records of 614 species/taxa. This included 539
species of fly (Diptera) and 23 species of bee. The raw data is presented within a
separate Excel spreadsheet (summarised in Appendix 3).
4. The 2022 survey produced a list of 81 species with formal or provisional UK
conservation statuses (see Table 1). Eleven of these are also on the Scottish
Biodiversity List. A further three Scottish Biodiversity Lists species (without UK
statuses) were also encountered.
5. Visits by SF between 2013 and 2018 added a further 16 species with formal or
provisional UK conservation statuses.
6. The 2002 visit has so far produced two fly species new to the British list, the
muscid Coenosia acuminata and the tachinid Gymnocheta magna. Several
further fly specimens that cannot be matched with anything on the British list
will be subject of further investigation.
7. All the scarcer species are subject of species accounts in Appendix 1 which
provide information on their ecology and status.
8. Nine sites (eight covered in 2022 plus a further site covered in the 2013-2018
period) are subject of site profiles in Appendix 2.

1 Introduction
1.1 Background and objectives
Strathspey and the adjacent north-western Cairngorms are recognised as being one
of the most biodiverse and unique parts of the Scottish Highlands, indeed of the
entire British Isles. The extent, diversity and quality of natural and semi-natural
habitats are matched by few other areas. These are in turn influenced by
topography, climate, geographic location and landscape history. In essence you have
a patch of Britain with some of the most important examples of upland and montane
habitats including Caledonian pine woodland, upland Aspen and Birch woodlands,
upland heathland, bog, mire, water bodies plus large-scale exposed riverine
sediments. It is not simply the importance of these habitats in isolation, but the fact
they are often combined as intricate, interacting habitat mosaics which support far
greater species biodiversity than those habitats could do in isolation. This is due to
the fact that many species of insects (notably pollinators and flying predators) have
multiple habitat needs that involve larval development sites plus one or more adult
requirement. Think of a bumblebee lifecycle for example where you need queen
hibernation sites, nesting sites, and assorted blossoms and flowers from spring to
early autumn to serve the varying needs of queens, workers and males.
Entomologists, such as dipterists and hymenopterists have been visiting the
Cairngorms and Strathspey area since the late 1800s. Indeed, it has been one of the
most popular destinations for them. The important insect collections at London’s
Natural History Museum, Edinburgh’s National Museum of Scotland and Oxford’s
University Museum of Natural History contain many hundreds of specimens bearing
labels featuring ‘Aviemore’, ‘Grantown’, ‘Nethy Bridge’, ‘Kingussie’ etc. Ditto, the
pages of Royal Entomological Society handbooks such as Assis-Fonseca (1968, 1978),
Emden (1954) and other key works such as British Flies: Empididae (Collin, 1961) and
British Hoverflies (Stubbs & Falk, 2002).
The early collectors such as Col. J. W. Yerbury and J. J. F. X. King were often vague
about precise locations. If they were staying at Aviemore, or got off the train at
Aviemore, that’s apparently what the specimen label would tend to state, even if
they had ended up collecting several miles away. So, it not surprising that we get a
very fuzzy indication of the locations involved in many of the older records and the
reason why some montane or Caledonian pine forest species have ended up with
‘Aviemore’ on their labels even though they might have been collected some
distance away. Nevertheless, the insect material gathered in the nineteenth and
twentieth centuries supports that picture of a uniquely rich and unusual part of the
British Isles. Few other British areas of equivalent size have produced such a long list
of insect species or produced so many additions to the British checklist. Even today,
few other areas have so many species that are difficult if not impossible to find
anywhere else in Britain. From a dipterological perspective, the New Forest of
Hampshire may be the only place to rival to this species richness.
Despite this, coverage of groups such as Diptera and Aculeate Hymenoptera within
the area has been geographically patchy and temporally uneven. Entomologists have
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023

tended to focus effort in certain areas that are relatively easy to access because it
can take considerable effort to reach some places. Often a small number of very
active entomologists (including the likes of Col. Yerbury and Philip Harwood) would
produce large numbers of specimens and records for a set period, only for a period
of low activity to then follow, and ‘local acquired knowledge’ to be lost.
Fast forward to the twenty-first century and there has never been a greater need for
insect recording in the Cairngorms and Strathspey. Many of the special species of the
area are featured in the 2020 Scottish Biodiversity List
https://www.nature.scot/scotlands-biodiversity/scottish-biodiversity-strategy-and-
cop15/scottish-biodiversity-list as high priority for conservation. Plus, there are
important local initiatives such as Cairngorms Connect
https://cairngormsconnect.org.uk/ as well as the ongoing conservation work of the
Cairngorms National Park Authority, NatureScot, the Royal Society for the Protection
of Birds (RSPB), and key landowners such as the Rothiemurchus Estate, Forestry and
Land Scotland (FLS) and Wild Land Ltd.
The biodiversity and landscapes of the western Cairngorms and Strathspey have
changed over time and not always for the better. They continue to face a variety of
threats including:
• Climate change, especially the growing frequency of heatwaves and summer
droughts that eliminate the water and humidity which so much of the insect
life here requires, also increasing the risk of accidental fires in what are some
of the most combustible locations in Britain;
• Habitat loss through development, including the expansion of local town,
villages and hamlets, housebuilding within the agricultural and wooded
settings, and the assorted projects associated with recreational activity and
tourism;
• Agricultural improvement and tidying of damp meadows, flowery brownfield
land, scrublands and marginal heathland;
• Modification of rivers and streams, often with associated loss of key
microhabitats such as exposed riverine sediments and riverside marsh;
• Replacement of biodiverse old woodland with plantation woodland (with
associated loss of older trees and semi-natural woodland structure) – more
of a historic issue than a current one.
In addressing the above, it is crucial that the most important current locations for
insect diversity, and especially for rare and threatened species, are known so that
development and land-use proposals/decisions can account for their needs. It also
ensures that conservation-driven habitat management/creation is informed and
gives the best outcome for the most important species. Some of this is already
happening through the ongoing partnership work to promote species such as the
Pine Hoverfly Blera fallax and Aspen Hoverfly Hammerschmidtia ferruginea, and the
Rare Invertebrates in the Cairngorms initiative https://www.rspb.org.uk/our-
work/conservation/projects/rare-invertebrates-in-the-cairngorms/.

However, there are still dozens of critically rare insect species that need attention,
and we are still finding species new to Britain in this area (two as a result of this 2022
visit) and even undescribed species such the fly Iteaphila falki which was collected at
Loch an Eilein in 2013 and subsequently described new to science by Sinclair &
Shamshev (2021).
The main objective of the June 2022 visit was to develop some good modern species
lists for the insects (mostly Diptera and aculeate Hymenoptera) at assorted key sites
in the north-west Cairngorms and adjacent Strathspey, and feed results back to
landowners, local conservation bodies, statutory agencies, the Cairngorms National
Park Authority and national/regional biological recording schemes. Some of the sites
have extensive historic data but others seem to be poorly studied for Diptera and
Hymenoptera. None of the species lists provided here should be viewed as definitive
for a site. It can take many visits, techniques and a variety of skillsets to get
anywhere near to a definitive list. It should also be flagged that other entomologists
(including attendees of Dipterists Forum and Malloch Society events, plus individual
dipterists such as Iain MacGowan and Ivan Perry) have also surveyed the Cairngorms
in recent years. No attempt has been made to collate their data here. However, data
from several visits to the area by SF between 2013 and 2018 has been woven into
this report.
1.2 Sites surveyed in 2022
Between 2-11 June 2022, fifteen locations were surveyed, twelve in detail (involving
half-day or full-day visits by one or both authors), others only quickly just to check
for key species. The sites are:
1. Abernethy Forest, Loch Garten area (NH971185) - pine woodland around the
car park on both sides of the loch-side road, also some loch-side swamp.
Surveyed by SF and NJ for about three hours on 11 June in overcast, breezy
and periodically drizzly weather, also by SF on 5 June 2018.
2. Abernethy Forest, Loch Mallachie area (NH966173) - pine woodland and
swamp at the NE corner of the loch not far from the previous site. Surveyed
by SF and NJ for about three hours on the afternoon of 2 June in dry, breezy
weather with sunny spells.
3. Abernethy Forest, Nethy Valley area (NJ 0221616317 to NJ 0209614371) - a
2km stretch of the River Nethy corridor, taking in river gravels, pine
woodland, damp riverplain grassland and heathland. Surveyed by SF and NJ
for about seven hours on 4 June in warm, sunny weather with only a light
breeze. SF also did a little surveying here on 11 June 2013.
4. Abernethy Forest North (Nethy Bridge) End (NH9999, NH9819) – pine
woodland (rather even-aged and non-ancient) plus associated ride systems
between the telegraph ride that runs east-west through the Forest and Nethy
Bridge village. Surveyed for a few hours by NJ in fine weather on 7 June, also

NJ and SF on 10 June for about one hour in mostly overcast weather. SF also
did a little surveying here on 30 May and 11 June 2013.
5. Cairn Gorm Ski Slope (NH 9899706000 to NH 9954804742) – the slopes of
Cairn Gorm from the lower station and botanical garden for about 1km up
slope following the footpath system to check montane heathland, flushes
and patches of more flowery grassland. Surveyed by SF and NJ for about five
hours on 5 June, in sunny weather with little breeze and about 24 °C (a dry
heat that suppressed insect activity). SF also made various visits to this area
(some very brief and targeting the botanic garden) in 2013, 2017 and 2018.
6. Craigellachie NNR (NH888122) – the birch-rich woodland and heathland (with
two large pools) directly west of the A9 and Aviemore town. Surveyed mostly
by SF for about four hours on 3 June including the summit (but not Lochan
Dubh) in fine, sunny weather with only a light breeze.
7. Feshie Fan (NH843061) – the large (circa 45 ha) gravel delta at the confluence
of the Rivers Spey and Feshie near Kincraig featuring unvegetated gravels,
sands and silts, patches of grassland, heathland, scrub and secondary
woodland. Surveyed by SF and NJ for about four hours in the afternoon of 9
June in dry, mostly cloudy weather with a light breeze. SF also visited the
area for a few hours on 13 August 2013 primarily to look for Spiriverpa
lunulata rather than surveying the site in detail.
8. Glenmore Lodge area (NH989093) – pine woodland, scrub and clearings
around the hotel. Surveyed by SF and NJ for 90 minutes on 8 June in dull and
periodically drizzly weather. SF also recorded the area on several dates in
August 2013.
9. Inshriach Forest (NH847055) – pine woodland and some associated rides and
clearings east of the Feshie Fan. Surveyed by SF and NJ for about two hours
on 9 June in overcast, breezy weather following overnight rain. A 2-hour visit
was also made by SF in fine weather on 7 June 2018.
10. Loch Einich (NN912980) – a high altitude loch (496m) about 2 km in length
within the Rothiemurchus Estate in the west of the high Cairngorms.
Surveying concentrated in the grassland and along the inflow channels at the
south end of the loch (Coire Odhur) and the small beaches and loch-side
flushes elsewhere. Surveyed by SF on 7 June for about 6.5 hours in fine,
mostly sunny weather with minimum breeze.
11. Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood (NH965157) – a large block of open-structured,
Aspen-rich woodland near Tulloch with grassy rides and clearings (some with
abundant flowering Pignut). Surveyed by SF and NJ for about six hours on 6
June in fine sunny weather with minimum breeze.

12. Torr Alvie (NH8607) – Birch and Aspen-rich woodland blanketing a low hill
south of Aviemore. Surveyed by NJ (in the company of Iain MacGowan) on 3
June in fine weather for about 3 hours.
Also, minor surveying of:
13. Boat of Garten, B970 off-road storage pound at NH 9517319008 – featured
plentiful flowering Common Bird’s-foot Trefoil, so was quickly checked by SF
and NJ for the Pine Mason Bee Osmia uncinata and other bees on late
afternoon 5 June in hot, sunny weather.
14. Firwood Cottage, Nethy Bridge (NH99552023) – the nature-friendly garden of
the place where we were staying, with short searches of insects on various
dates before or after excursions.
15. Kinrara/Torr Alvie entrance drive (NH860083) SF joined NP and Iain
MacGowan for a short period on the afternoon of 3 June and generated a
few records from the Kinrara entrance drive. Kinrara House by the River Spey
was a popular base for early entomologists and ‘Kinrara’ is featured in some
important old literature records and museum specimens.
1.3 Additional sites surveyed by SF between 2013 and 2018
Some only very briefly or superficially:
16. Abernethy Forest, Loch a’ Chnuic area (NJ053143, NJ046148) – young pine
woodland and upland heathland. Surveyed for about 90 minutes on 5 June
2018.
17. Auchernack Basin (NJ024251) – open structured birch woodland between the
B970 and River Spey. Surveyed for about one hour on 12 August and 14
August 2013 in overcast weather.
18. Cairn Gorm Ptarmigan Station (NJ004049) – montane habitat, surveyed for
about 30 minutes on 29 July 2017 in cool, overcast and windy conditions.
19. Coylumbridge (NH916106) - an area of open-structured pine woodland south
of the Loch Morlich road (east of the River Luineag and opposite the B970
junction). Surveyed for about 90 minutes on 7 June 2018 in fine weather.
20. Curr Wood (NH993233) – a large block of mature, open-structured pine
woodland of a fairly even age structure. Surveyed for about five hours on 10
June 2013 and two hours on 4 June 2018 in fine weather plus a brief visit
looking specifically for Blera fallax with Andy Jukes on 7 June 2018.
21. Glen Einich (NH929065) – a representative section of the valley using a
sheltered and flowery area between the track to Loch Einich and the river.
Surveyed for about one hour on 15 August 2013 in fine weather.
22. Glen Feshie, south of Tolvah (NH844010) – exposed river gravels and
associated grassland and scrub beside the River Feshie that are easily
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
9
accessible form the road to Geln Feshie Lodge. Surveyed for 1-2 hours
duration on 28 May, 9 June and 13 August 2013, also 8 June 2018 looking for
key riverine species rather than attempting to assemble a long species list.
Weather included sunny and overcast conditions.
23. Glen Feshie, Auchlean (NN854975) – the hillside east of Auchlean served by
the footpath leading to Càrn Bàn Mòr. Briefly surveyed on 28 May 2013.
24. Granish Moor (NH899151) – brief visits on 12 and 14 August 2013, the first in
light rain, the second in fine weather.
25. Insh Marshes Aspen Wood (NN776999) – open structured, Aspen-rich
woodland between the B970 and Insh Marshes. Surveyed for about five hours
on 9 June 2013 in fine weather.
26. Loch an Eilein (NH898078) – open structured pine forest (some areas with
veteran trees), and loch-side marsh. Surveyed for several hours on 30 & 31
May, 1 June and 11 August 2013 mostly in fine weather.
27. Loch Morlich (NH972091) – the mire and margins of the inflow stream at the
east end of the loch. Surveyed for about one hour on 18 August 2013 in
overcast conditions. Also, a little surveying of the adjacent Glenmore Forest
on 25 May and 10 August 2013.
28. Kincraig village (NH833055) – roadside and wetland south of the Brae. Visited
for an hour on 13 August 2013 in overcast conditions.
29. School Wood, Nethy Bridge (NJ013206) – a small section of this large pine
wood opposite Lynstock Crescent was surveyed for about 15 minutes on 11
June 2013 in fine weather.
30. Speybridge Aspen Wood (NN783998) - a small black of Aspen-rich woodland
on the south bank of the River Spey directly east of the Spey Bridge. Visited
briefly on 5 and 7 June 2018 to photograph Hammerschmidtia and other
scarce flies on a fallen Aspen.

2 Methodology
2.1 Fieldwork
The main surveying techniques were:
• Visual identification of insects flying, foraging and resting, which is possible
for most butterflies, bumblebees, larger solitary bees, hoverflies and other
readily identified insects.
• Protracted sweeping with a long-handled insect net of low herbage and
flowers (e.g. Bilberry, Cowberry, Heath Bedstraw, Tormentil, Pignut, Cat’s-
ear, buttercups), shrub/tree blossom (notably Rowan, Hawthorn, Broom and
Bird Cherry), shrub/tree foliage, lying dead wood, exposed river and lake
sediments
• Spot-capture of individual specimens flying, resting or foraging. This
complements the sweeping approach and is better suited for more alert and
fast-flying insects that are harder to catch by sweeping. It is particularly
useful for catching insects resting on old trees and dead wood.
Some captured insects were identified quickly in the field using a hand lens and then
released. More difficult specimens requiring examination under a microscope, plus
important voucher specimens, were transferred from the net to a pooter or glass
tube and formed the day’s ‘sample’ for careful checking under a microscope later.
Bait trapping and pan trapping was attempted at Cairn Gorm Ski Station on 5 June
but proved useless (possibly because of the very hot and dry weather).
Survey work concentrated on Diptera (flies) and aculeate Hymenoptera (ants, bees
and ‘stinging’ wasps) but any butterflies, dragonflies, and readily recognised beetles
were noted.
The precise location of surveying at a site was often dictated by the distribution of
key features such as flowers, blossoms, dead wood, sheltered sunlit foliage and
accessible swamp. Sheltered sunlit foliage in the morning can be astonishingly
productive for flies which like to sunbath. This includes hoverflies, tachinids, muscids
and anthomyiids which can be drawn in from a large area but then concentrated
within a very small area. This can be especially marked on a breezy day, as insects
will seek the most sheltered foliage they can find. Swamp can also be super-
productive for wetland flies. A few minutes of sweeping can here can capture dozens
of species.
2.2 Critical identification of material
Insects that could not be identified in the field were identified under a microscope
using key literature and eventually (once back home) using comparative material
from the authors’ personal reference collections. Specimens supporting important
records have been pinned and labelled. These will be stored to a high curatorial
standard in the authors’ collections for the foreseeable future. It has not been
possible to ascertain the precise identity of a small number of specimens. These
could potentially be new British species, or they might be existing British species that
do not conform to the identification literature. It can often take several years to
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
12
resolve such issues, including the use of DNA sequencing or highly detailed
dissection/examnation.
2.3 Nomenclature
Wherever possible, the latest published names are used, based on Chandler (2020
plus updates) and the BWARS website for Hymenoptera. Some name changes have
not yet been recognised by NBN e.g. Botanophila estonica.
2.4 Digitisation of records
All records have been placed in Excel. This contains all the raw data i.e. every
species/taxon showing which of the sites it was found within, on which dates and by
whom. This has been formatted to allow ready passing on to biological recording
organisations. A summarised species list for each site is reproduced in Appendix 3 of
this report.
2.5 Ascertaining conservation statuses
National conservation statuses include Red Data Book (RDB) Categories 1, 2, 3 and K,
IUCN threat statuses, Nationally Scarce or Notable statuses, or anything listed in the
Scottish Biodiversity List as a conservation priority species. Definitions for these
categories are given in Appendix 5 at the end of this report. The following taxonomic
status reviews were used for checking the conservation statuses of species recorded:
• Coleoptera Alexander, 2014; Alexander et. al., 2014; Foster 2010;
Hubble, 2014; Hyman & Parsons, 1992, 1994; Telfer,
2016
• Diptera Ball & Morris, 2014; Falk, 1991b; Drake, 2017; Drake,
2018; Falk, Pont & Chandler, 2005; Falk & Crossley,
2005; Falk, Ismay & Chandler 2016; Falk & Pont, 2017
• Hymenoptera Falk, 1991a, Musgrove, 2022
• Lepidoptera Davis, 2012; Fox et al. 2010; Waring & Townsend, 2003
• Orthoptera, Dermaptera
& Blattodea Sutton, 2015
• Hemiptera Bantock, 2016; Kirby, 1992
It should be noted that some of these reviews are over 30 years old (e.g., Falk,
1991a, b) and many of the conservation statuses are badly out of date as more data
has revealed that a species is more common, or more declined than previously
thought. Additionally, because of the 30-year age spread of the reviews, several
grading systems (with slightly different criteria and thresholds) have been involved in
producing the statuses that are currently active, and many insect groups have yet to
be evaluated using the latest IUCN-based criteria. This makes it impossible to
produce a simple, linear hierarchy of conservation statuses, though Appendix 5 helps
navigate the situation. Scottish Biodiversity List species were identified using the
2020 NatureScot list: https://www.nature.scot/doc/scottish-biodiversity-list.

2.6 Checking national distributions
Where the national distribution of a species needed to be checked, this was either
done using the latest key literature or maps from an appropriate website. Sources of
online species maps include:
• the National Biodiversity Network (NBN) https://nbn.org.uk/
• the Bee, Wasp and Ant Recording Society (BWARS): https://www.bwars.com/
• the Soldierflies & Allies Recording Scheme
https://www.brc.ac.uk/soldierflies-and-allies/
• the Hoverfly Recording Scheme http://hoverfly.uk/hrs/
2.7 Constraints
The visit was not affected by too many constraints. The weather was good to fair on
most days but excessive warmth on the Cairn Gorm visit of 5 June suppressed insect
activity. Dull and sometimes drizzly weather affected 8, 10 and 11 June.
Identification of a small number of specimens has been challenging and we have
been unable to confidently name them even using key literature and reference
collections. Hopefully these can be resolved in the long term, but this might requires
sending specimens to foreign experts and there is a chance some may be species
new to Britain which would necessitate comparison with foreign material that might
not be present in British museums.

3 Results
3.1 Species richness
The 2022 survey produced 1561 records of 614 taxa, dominated by flies which were
the main target group. These are mostly clearcut species, but a few aggregate taxa
have been used for very difficult groups e.g. Siphona species, the Chamaepsila rosae
complex and any workers and some queens of the Bombus lucorum complex. The
coarse breakdown of the list is:
• Diptera: 539 species (including 72 hoverflies, 86 muscids, 48 anthomyiids and
47 empidids
• Hymenoptera: 54 species (including 23 bees)
• Coleoptera: 11 species
• Lepidoptera (butterflies): 6 species
• Odonata: 2 species
• Hemiptera: 1 species
• Raphidioptera: 1 species
A full species list is provided in the accompanying Excel spreadsheet and a summary
is provided in Appendix 3. A small number of specimens have not been identified to
species as they do not key out cleanly or conform to specimens of related species
when compared carefully.
3.2 Species with national conservation statuses
The 2022 survey produced a list of eighty-one species with formal or provisional UK
conservation statuses. Eleven of these are also on the Scottish Biodiversity List. A
further three Scottish Biodiversity Lists species (without UK statuses) were also
encountered. Visits by SF between 2013 and 2018 added a further sixteen graded
species. These scarcer species are listed in Table 1 and species accounts summarising
their UK distribution and ecology are provided in Appendix 1.
3.3. New British and Scottish species
The 2022 survey produced two new fly species to the British list, Coenosia acuminata
(Muscidae) from Cairn Gorm on 5 June, and Gymnocheta magna from
Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June. The 2013-2018 visits by SF resulted in
discovery of an unknown empidoid fly from Loch an Eilein on 31 May 2013, now
described by Sinclair and Shamshev (2021) as Iteaphila falki (Iteaphilidae).
DNA-sequencing of several specimens of a nomad bee associated with the Bilberry
Mining Bee Andrena lapponica at Loch an Eiliein and Curr Wood played a pivotal role
in adding Nomada glabella (Bilberry Nomad Bee) to the British list (Falk et. al., 2022)
and supporting its treatment as a separate species to N. panzeri, which had not been
universally accepted prior to that. N. glabella proves to be widespread in northern
and western Britain and is probably the commonest nomad bee in the Cairngorms.
Material of the hoverfly genus Melanostoma gathered in 2013-2018 provided what
appear to be the first confirmed records of M. mellarium in Britain (it had previously
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
15
been recorded in Eire) and strong evidence that the montane species traditionally
referred to as M. dubium is conspecific with M. certum described by Haarto & Stahls
(2014).
The authors have not done a thorough check to see how many species recorded
between 2013 and 2022 (beyond those new to Britain) are new to Scotland. The
records of Sciapus basilicus from Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022 (several specimens
found by both SF and NJ) appear to be the first ones for Scotland and represent a big
range extension. It seems to be associated with exposed river gravels and other
sediments. The record for the Saxon Wasp Dolichovespula saxonica from Kincraig
village on 13 August 2013 was the first recognised Scottish one. It has become widely
reported in Scotland since.
3.4 Further species of significance
Some additional scarce species that would almost certainly merit a conservation
status in a new status review were recorded. The following is not definitive but lists
some of the more obvious ones:
Dasysyrphus hilaris (a hoverfly). First tentatively recognised as British in 1995
(Stubbs & Falk, 2002) but not always easy to distinguish from the common D.
venustus. There are scattered records in England and Wales. The two female
specimens obtained in 2022 (Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood and Abernethy Forest near
Nethy Bridge) key out very cleanly and do not appear to represent variants of D.
venustus, which is frequent in the woods of the Cairngorms and Strathspey.
Dasysyrphus neovenustus (a hoverfly). Described as new to science from Poland and
Siberia (Soszyński & Mielczarek,2014), the year after SF had recorded it from several
localities in Strathspey and the Cairngorms and noted consistent differences from
the common D. venustus. It was not formally added to the British list until Speight &
Vanappelghem (2018). It is common in the pinewoods of the Cairngorms and
Strathspey with scattered records as far south as Dorset. The larvae are probably
aphidophagous on pine-feeding aphids.
Lonchaea albitarsis (a lance fly). A poorly known species that is probably associated
with dead wood in northern areas. The record from Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood
may be just the second for Britain.
Polietes hirticrus (a muscid fly). It is not clear why this species, which may be
endemic to Britain, was not afforded a conservation status in Falk & Pont (2017). It is
recorded sparingly in upland areas of Wales, the Pennines, the Lake District and the
Scottish Highlands. It is stated to only breed in cattle dung, though SF has found it at
several locations some distance from obvious cattle grazing. Adults fly from May to
August. SF recorded it at Loch an Eilein and the Glenmore Lodge area in 2013.
Trypeta immaculata (a picture-winged fly). A scarce northern and western species
with larvae that mine the leaves of assorted Asteraceae such as dandelions (but
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
16
possibly specialising on northern and western microspecies). Recorded in Abernethy
Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Vespula austriaca (the Cuckoo Wasp). A social wasp that does not produce workers
but acts as a social parasite of the Red Wasp V. rufa, taking over a nest and using the
rufa workers to bring up its own offspring, much like a cuckoo bumblebee. V.
austriaca has always been scarcer than the host and exhibits a strong northern and
western bias. It has clearly shown a serious decline in England with a high proportion
of recent records confined to the Scottish Highlands. It is still fairly frequent in the
woods of the Cairngorms and Strathspey, which may be one of its few modern
strongholds though none were seen in June 2022. Between 2013 and 2018 SF
recorded it at Coylumbridge, Curr Wood, Glenmore Lodge, Insh Marshes Aspen
Wood and Loch an Eilein.

4 Discussion
4.1 Scarcer species
The large number of species with conservation statuses recorded during 2022
reinforces the importance of the area for scarce and unusual insects. The data also
complements some of the other recent surveys of the area, adding useful records to
pre-existing site lists such as data from Malloch Society visits and SF’s lists from
2013-18.
The discovery of two new British species in 2022 plus others in 2013-18 (including
one new to science) also demonstrates how incomplete our knowledge of the fauna
is. The 10-year study of Scottish saproxylic Diptera by Rotheray et. al. (2001) was
even more impressive, producing nine species new to Britain and ten species new to
science, mostly from the woods of Strathspey.
Notes on all the scarcer species recorded between 2013 and 2022 are provided in
Appendix 1.
4.2 Discussion of sites
The survey work was not standardised so comparison between sites is inevitably
somewhat subjective. However, some sites clearly produce longer species lists and a
better list of scarce species on a typical day than others. In 2022 these included
Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley), Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood, Feshie Fan, Loch
Einich and the Cairn Gorm ski slope area. These tend to correspond with nationally
restricted or exceptional quality habitat types capable of supporting restricted
specialists of, for example, Caledonian pine woodland, Scottish Aspen stands, upland
river gravels, and upland water bodies. Craigellachie NNR produced a long list but
with relatively few scarce species, possibly because upland Birch woodland is
relatively widespread. Profiles for the nine most interesting sites encountered are
provided in Appendix 2.
4.3 Some important assemblages
The lists (assemblages) of species that are specialists/characteristic of certain key
habitats can help us evaluate the relative value of sites containing those habitats. It
can help us monitor the condition of the habitat and define priorities for site
management or any future site designation. The following lists some habitat-
associated species recorded by the authors between 2013 and 2022 and highlights
some key publications associated with the Diptera of those habitats in Scotland.

APPENDIX 1 - Notes on the scarcer species recorded 2013-2022
Coleoptera (beetles)
Anastrangalia sanguionolenta (Blood-red Longhorn). Graded Critically Endangered
by Alexander (2019). A medium-sized longhorn (8-13 mm long) with a black head
and thorax, and wing cases that are tawny in the smaller males and red in the larger
females. This is a beetle of old pinewoods, notably within the Cairngorms-Strathspey
area, but there are a few older English records. It is associated with sun-exposed,
decorticated and well-seasoned, standing or fallen, dead pine or spruce. It seems to
require trunks and branches of substantial girth. The larvae develop for at least two
years in the partially decayed heartwood and pupate in the wood. Adults are active
in June and July and visit flowers such as Hogweed, Yarrow and Rowan. A pair were
recorded on Rowan flowers in Stewart Taylor’s Nethy Bridge garden on 12 June
2022, and SF saw some males on Rowan flowers at Coylumbridge on 7 June 2018.
Clytra quadripunctata (Four-spotted Leaf Beetle). Graded Nationally Scarce/Least
Concern by Hubble (2014). This 7-11 mm long beetle with red elytra bearing four
black spots develops within the nests of wood ants. The larvae seem to feed on nest
debris. Adults feed on foliage and flowers and are active from April to December. It is
widespread but local and has probably declined in the south, where wood ant
numbers are much reduced. In 2022, recorded at Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on
4 June and Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June.
Coccinella quinquepunctata (Five-spot Ladybird). Graded Nationally Rare (RDB3) in
Hyman & Parsons 1992. A specialist of exposed river sediments (usually river gravels)
that was considered extinct in the UK until 1987. It has since been recorded widely in
the north and west of Britain and can be common within its specific habitat. The
larvae feed on aphids on plants growing on river shingles such as Broom. Adults can
be found from April to October (overwintering amongst stones and other debris),
larvae from May to August. Recorded by SF at Feshie Fan on 13 August 2013.
Dictyoptera aurora (a net-winged beetle). Graded Nationally Rare by Alexander
(2014). Widespread but local in pinewoods of the Scottish Highlands and well known
from the pinewoods of the Cairngorms and Strathspey. Larvae develop in standing or
fallen decaying pine trunks and stumps. Adults are active from May to July. Several
swept from the pine woodland north of the road skirting Loch Garten on 11 June
2022.
Protaetia cuprea ssp metallica (Northern Rose Chafer). Graded Nationally Scarce by
Lane & Mann (2016). An impressive 16-22 mm, metallic green chafer found locally
within the Scottish Highland where it is associated with wood ants. The larvae
appear to eat debris within the nest, and possibly the dead wood associated with
any stumps within the nest, though it is not a proven saproxylic species. Adults are
active from May to August and will visit Rowan and willow blossom, also sap. One
recorded on willow blossom at Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022. SF
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
29
also encountered one at Insh Marshes Aspen Wood on 9 June 2013 and Inshriach
Forest on 7 June 2018.
Rhagium inquisitor (Ribbed Pine Borer). Graded Nationally Scarce by Alexander
(2019). Most frequent in the pinewoods of the Scottish Highlands but occasionally
recorded elsewhere in Britain, probably through the transportation of conifer logs.
The larvae develop under the bark of dead conifers and take 2-3 years to mature.
Adults can be usually seen from June until August on dead stumps, fallen trunks and
log piles. Recorded on a log pile in Abernethy Forest (just south of Nethy Bridge) on
11 June 2013.
Diptera (flies)
Alliopsis atronitens (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017). Widespread in the Scottish Highlands typically at altitudes of 850 to 1000
metres, but occasionally as low as 575 metres. Adults fly from May to July. The
biology is unknown. Recorded in the Cairn Gorm ski slope area on 5 June 2022 and
previously here by SF on 29 May 2013. It is well known from the Cairngorms.
Alliopsis conifrons (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017). Widespread in the Scottish Highlands, also Mull and a few sites in northern
England and North Wales. A species of uplands, usually found beside streams and
rivers. The biology is unknown. Adults fly from May to August. Recorded in Cairn
Gorm ski slope area by SF on 29 July 2017.
Bellardia pubicornis (a blowfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
Widespread in the Scottish Highlands at sites that include montane habitat (up to
890 metres), river gravels, and coastal dunes at close to sea level. Adults fly from
May to September. The biology is unknown, but other Bellardia species are internal
parasitoids of earthworms. Recorded on the Cairn Gorm ski slope, Feshie Fan and
Loch Einich in 2022.
Blepharomyia piliceps (a parasite fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk, Pont &
Chandler (2005). A localized species of upland areas in northern England and
Scotland. It can occur in both broadleaved and coniferous woodland, plus adjacent
moorland. The larvae are parasitoids of a range of caterpillars within the families
Geometridae and Noctuidae. Adults fly from April and June. Recorded at
Craigellachie NNR on 3 June 2022 and Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June
with a further SF record from Loch an Eilein on 1 June 2013.
Blera fallax (Pine Hoverfly). Graded Critically Endangered by Ball & Morris (2014)
and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A special fly of the Cairngorms pinewoods
with just a handful of modern sites (some only as a result of reintroduction projects).
The larvae develop in water-filled cavities of living pines or dead pine stumps and
may take several years to develop. Adults fly from May to August but peak in early
summer. Adults visit flowers such as Wild Raspberry, brambles, Cowberry and
Rowan. One female recorded at Curr Wood by SF (sweeping sunlit Bilberry foliage)
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
30
on 10 June 2013. There was also a possible siting of one visiting Cowberry flowers
near Loch Mallachie on 2 June 2022 (close to some artificial breeding stumps) but
the specimen could not be captured for checking. The biology is summarised in Falk
(2021).
Botanophila lobata (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017). Known from relatively few highly scattered sites in England and Scotland,
mostly mature woods. The biology is unknown, but adults fly in May and June.
Recorded from Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022. Scottish records are
few, but the NBN does show a record from the Torr Alvie area.
Brachyopa pilosa (a sap hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris (2014).
A scarce species mostly encountered in ancient woodland in the southern half of
Britain but with a cluster of sites in the Scottish Highlands. Aspen woodland seems to
be the main habitat used in the Scottish Highlands, and in Strathspey it often flies
alongside Hammerschmidtia ferruginea. It is also associated with newly fallen Beech
and poplars at some English sites. The larvae develop in the sappy decay that forms
under the bark of recently fallen trees or new log piles, and it does not seem to be
strongly associated with sap runs (in contrast to other Brachyopa species). Adults fly
from April to July. They visit flowers such as Wild Cherry and Rowan but also like to
sunbath on fallen trunks and foliage in sunny, sheltered spots. Recorded at
Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022 on a fallen Aspen. SF also encountered it
on a fallen Aspen at Speybridge Aspen Wood on 5 and 7 June 2018.
Callicera rufa (a long-horned hoverfly). A very distinctive, reddish-brown, furry
hoverfly associated with mature pines in both native pine woodland and mature
commercial plantation (where it will use Corsican Pine and Common Larch). It used
to be considered a scarce Scottish Highlands speciality but in recent years has turned
up at sites as far away as Norfolk, Hertfordshire and Glamorgan. The larvae develop
in the water-filled hollows (trunk clefts and rot holes) of mature pine and in cut pine
stumps. Adults fly from May to August and are usually seen resting on sunlit pine
trunks. One recorded resting on a pine stump in Stewart Taylor’s Nethy Bridge
garden.
Calliphora loewi (Long-horned Bluebottle). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017). One of several northern-biased blowflies. Found locally in upland areas of
Scotland, Wales and northern England, usually in wooded settings but it can occur to
500 metres in open, submontane habitat. The larvae develop in carrion. Adults fly
from May to September. Recorded from Craigellachie NNR on 3 June 2022 and
Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022. SF also encountered several near
Glenmore Lodge on 10 August 2013.
Campiglossa argyrocephala (a picture wing fly). Graded RDB3 by Falk (1991b). A
scarce species of the Scottish Highlands, especially associated with damp heathland
of the Cairngorms and Upper Deeside areas. The larvae develop in the flowerheads
of Sneezewort and induce a distinctive rosette-shaped gall. Adults fly in May and
June. One recorded at Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
31
Cephenemyia auribarbis (Deer Bot/Deer Nostril Fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by
Falk & Pont (2017). A large (body length to 16 mm), furry, bumblebee-mimicking
oestrid with an orange or whitish tail and a black hair band across the top of the
thorax. The hairs of the jowls and back of the head are bright orange or reddish but
can fade. C. auribarbis is a parasite of Red Deer Cervus elephas. Females lay larvae
directly on to the nostrils and these larvae usually develop within the nasal cavity,
throat or windpipe. Mature larvae pass out through the gut and pupate in the soil.
Adults fly from April to August. They are usually seen basking on rocks but
occasionally show interest in humans. C. auribarbis is recorded widely in Scotland
including the islands of Rum and Islay, with most records north of Perthshire. Small
numbers of males were seen on stream boulders at the south end of Loch Einich on
7 June 2022. SF also saw a female in Abernethy Forest near Loch a’ Chnuic on 5 June
2018.
Cheilosia chrysocoma (a blacklet hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball &
Morris (2014) and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A rather stunning, furry-orange
species that is widespread but very scarce in England, Wales and Scotland. It typically
occurs in and around damp woodland and is thought to develop in the stem bases of
Wild Angelica. Adults fly from March to June. One recorded in the Cairn Gorm
botanic garden on 29 May 2013.
Cheilosia mutabilis (a blacklet hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris
(2014). A small, black hoverfly that is found sparingly in England, Wales and Scotland,
usually on coastal dune and heathland. The larvae have apparently been found in the
roots of Welted Thistle, though the known distribution suggests that this is not a
typical foodplant and a hawkish composite such as Cat’s-ear or a hawkbit is perhaps
more likely. Adults fly from April to August. Recorded at Auchernack Basin on 12
August 2013.
Cheilosia sahlbergi (a blacklet hoverfly). Graded Vulnerable by Ball & Morris (2014)
and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A speciality of the Scottish Highlands where it
usually occurs in grassland and other montane habitat at over 500 metres. The
larvae appear to feed on the roots of Alpine Bistort. Adults fly in May and June. One
female recorded at the south end of Loch Einich on 7 June 2022.
Chelifera monostigma (an empidid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Crossley
(2005). A tiny little fly with raptorial front legs that is recorded from a few sites in
north and west Britain, usually from the banks of streams and rivers with exposed
sediments. The larvae are presumed to develop as predators in wet sediments or
mosses. Adults fly from June to August. Recorded at Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022.
Chyliza annulipes (a psilid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce in Falk, Ismay & Chandler
(2016). A widespread but localised fly associated with coniferous woodland,
especially plantations of Sitka Spruce, Norway Spruce, Corsican Pine and Lodgepole
Pine although old records exist for some Caledonian Pinewoods. The larvae develop
within the viscous resin exudations around wounds of these trees. Adults recorded
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
32
from April to June, often on broad-leaved foliage next to conifers. Recorded at Torr
Alive on 3 June 2022 and Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Clusiodes apicalis (a druid fly). Graded Near Threatened in Falk, Ismay & Chandler
(2016). Rare, with scattered records in the Scottish Highlands (mostly Strathspey
between Insh Marshes and Grantown-on-Spey), also a site in Caernarvonshire. It is
strongly associated with Aspen woodland and has been reared from a dead Aspen
and birch. Adults occur from May to July usually running about on fallen trunks and
large, detached branches of Aspen.
Coenosia acuminata (a muscid fly). A distinctive looking male Coenosia captured on
the ski slope area of Cain Gorm on 5 June 2022 keyed out cleanly to the non-British
C. acuminata in Gregor et. al. 2002 and matched the image for C. acuminata on the
Finnish Biodiversity Information Facility: https://laji.fi/en/taxon/MX.280682. Leading
muscid expert Adrian Pont kindly confirmed the identification. It is recorded widely
in Fennoscandia and upland areas of Central Europe.
Cordilura atrata (a dung fly). Graded Nationally Scarce in Falk (1991b). A small
blackish dung fly of northern upland areas, notably the Scottish Highlands, though it
is additionally known from Moorhouse NNR in the North Pennines. It seems to
require upland mire, fen and stream sides with plentiful sedges and has been
recorded as high as 910 metres. Adults fly from May to August. The larva probably
develops within sedges. Small numbers recorded at the swampy margins of Loch
Mallachie on 2 June 2022.
Cordilura picticornis (a dung fly). Graded RDB3 in Falk (1991b). A small blackish dung
fly mostly recorded from Strathspey between Insh and Grantown. It seems to be
specifically associated with Water Sedge on the banks of rivers (notably the Spey)
and associated tributaries, lochs and pools. Adults fly from May to September.
Recorded at Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022.
Cordilura rufimana (a dung fly). Graded Nationally Scarce in Falk (1991b). A small
blackish dung fly of northern and western Britain. It likes base-poor fens, loch
margins, also raised bog systems such as Whixall Moss (on The England-Wales
border), often where plants such as Bogbean are present. The larvae probably
develop in the stems of sedges, perhaps something like Star Sedge. Adults fly from
April to August. Recorded from the swampy margins of Loch Mallachie on 2 June
2022 and similar habitat beside nearby Loch Garten on 11 June 2022.
Didea intermedia (a lucent hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris
(2014). A widespread but localised hoverfly that is most frequent in the Scottish
Highlands. It is strongly associated with Scots Pine, both within plantations and
native stands. The larvae are predators of pine-feeding aphids. Adults fly from May
to September and visit Rowan and Hawthorn blossom plus flowers such as
bedstraws and yellow composites. In 2022 recorded from several parts of Abernethy
Forest. SF has previous records from Coylumbridge and Inshriach Forest (both 7 June
2018) and Glen Feshie (1984).
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
33
Dorylomorpha albitarsis (a big-headed fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk &
Chandler (2005). Widely recorded in the Scottish Highlands where it can turn up in a
variety of wooded and non-wooded locations. Dorylomorpha species are parasitoids
of hopper bugs. In 2022 recorded in Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley), Glenmore
Lodge area, Inshriach Forest, Loch Einich and Tomnagowhan Aspen, suggesting that
it is fairly frequent in the area.
Dorylomorpha beckeri (a big-headed fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk &
Chandler (2005). A scarce Scottish Highlands speciality with a few records from the
Strathspey area. The habitat requirements are unclear. Dorylomorpha species are
parasitoids of hopper bugs. Recorded from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4
June 2022.
Drymeia brumalis (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
scarce species of north and west Britain, especially upland areas with fens and damp
meadows. The larval biology is unknown, but development probably takes place in
damp, peaty soil. Adults fly from June to September and visit flowers such as yellow
composites. Recorded from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Ectinocera borealis (a snail-killing fly). Graded RDB3 by Falk (1991b). This is a
localised northern and western species usually found in upland birch-alder woodland
or conifer woods with streams and wet areas but occasionally much higher in open,
submontane habitat. The biology is unknown. Adults can be recorded from May to
July. In 2022 it was recorded at Torr Alvie, Craigellachie NNR, Tomnagowhan Aspen
Wood, Loch Einich and the slopes of Cairn Gorm, substantially increasing the number
of recent records for the area (based on the NBN map).
Eupeodes nielseni (a hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris (2014).
Widespread but localised in the Scottish Highlands where it tends to be associated
with pine woodland. There are also scattered locations in southern England. The
larvae are predaceous on aphids and adelgids on pines and larches. Adults fly from
April to September and visit flowers such as Tormentil. Recorded at Curr Wood by SF
on 10 June 2013.
Exorista grandis (a parasite fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk, Pont & Chandler
(2005). Widespread but very scarce, typically on heathland, moorland and dunes.
The main host is the Emperor Moth Saturnia pavonia. Adults fly from June to August.
Several recorded by SF just above the Cairn Gorm car park on 29 July 2017.
Fannia atra (a fanniid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
widespread but highly localised woodland-loving fly. The biology is unknown, but
Fannia species develop in a wide range of decaying organic matter. Adults fly from
May to August and males have been reported hovering beneath trees. Recorded
from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Gymnocheta magna (a parasite fly). A single female was obtained from
Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022, one of several Gymnocheta specimens
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
34
obtained that week. These were all checked against the new key to Nordic
Gymnocheta species by Pohjoismäki & Bergström (2021) and the larger
Tomnagowhan female proved to be G. magna, a species not on the British list. The
larvae are probably parasitoids of tussock dwelling Erebidae moth caterpillars. In
Nordic countries it has been recorded at forest margins, in meadows and in gardens.
Both sexes are reported to visit umbellifer flowers. A paper formally adding it to the
British list is in press (Dipterists Digest) at the time of writing.
Hammerschmidtia ferruginea (Aspen Hoverfly). Graded Endangered by Ball & Morris
(2014) and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A highly distinctive chestnut coloured
hoverfly that is a speciality of old Aspen stands in the Scottish Highlands. Modern
locations are restricted to perhaps less than a dozen sites, all within north-east
Scotland. The larvae develop in the sappy decay that forms under the bark of fallen
Aspen trees (and probably large branches) that are at least one-year dead. However,
conditions may only stay suitable for 3-4 years, so it requires sites with enough
mature Aspen trees to ensure a constant supply of suitable dead wood. Adults fly
from May to July and visit the flowers of Rowan, Bird Cherry, Pignut, buttercups etc.
Seen in good numbers at Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022, mostly on a
fallen Aspen and on Rowan flowers. One male was also recorded on Rowan along
the Kinrara entrance drive 3 June 2022. SF (and RSPB staff) recorded it in small
numbers on a fallen Aspen at Speybridge Aspen Wood on 5 and 7 June 2018. and SF
found several visiting Bird Cherry flowers at Insh Marshes Aspen Wood on 9 June
2013. The biology and conservation requirements are summarised in Rotheray et. al.
(2009) and Falk (2021).
Helina annosa (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
species mostly recorded from the Scottish Highlands (notably the Cairngorms) with a
few records in northern England. It occurs in submontane areas and adjacent birch
or pine woodland. The adults probably develop as predators in moss or damp soil.
Adults fly from May to September. Recorded on the Cairn Gorm ski slope area on 29
May 2013.
Helina protuberans (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
frequent fly of western dunes (especially in Wales) with a few records on the east
coast and also along some Scottish Highlands rivers with exposed river gravels and
silts, notably the River Spey and its tributaries. The larvae are presumed to develop
as predators in sandy and silty sediments. Adults fly from April to August. Recorded
on Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022 and previously by SF along the River Feshie near Tolvah
on 9 June 2013.
Helina vicina (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
widespread but very scarce species that seems to like old damp woodland with
plenty of mosses in hilly areas. It has been reared from moss growing beside a
stream, from beneath moss growing on tree trunks and from under moss on bark.
The larvae are predaceous on other insect larvae and small invertebrates within
mosses. Adults fly from May to August. Recorded form Torr Alvie on 3 June 2022.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
35
Homalocephala biumbrata (a ulidiid fly). Graded Near Threatened by Falk, Ismay &
Chandler (2016). Most records are from the Scottish Highlands (Perthshire, Elgin,
Easterness, West Ross and East Ross) with an English record from Duncombe Park
NNR, Yorkshire in 1980 and a possible record for Durham. It is essentially a specialist
of Aspen woodland where it requires fallen trees or detached large trunks. The
larvae develop in the sappy decay beneath the bark in the first few years of decay.
Adults occur from June to August and are usually found wing-waving on fallen
Aspens, sometimes alongside Hammerchmidtia ferruginea. It is occasionally found
on isolated Aspen trees or using non-native poplars (Rotheray & MacGowan, 2014).
SF recorded small numbers on a fallen Aspen at Speybridge Aspen Wood on 5 and 7
June 2018.
Hybomitra lurida (Broad-headed Horsefly). Graded Vulnerable/Nationally Rare by
Drake (2017). A moderately large (12-13.5 mm long), dark grey horsefly mostly found
in the Scottish Highlands with a few additional sites in southern Scotland, North
Wales and the Cheshire-Shropshire mosses. It seems to require base-poor fen and
mire. The larvae are probably predatory in bog mosses or peat. Adults fly from May
to July and will rest on dead wood and sunlit foliage as well as buzzing humans. It is
quite frequent in Abernethy Forest (especially the Loch Garten and Loch Mallachie
area), with fair numbers seen here in both 2018 and 2022. SF also recorded it at Curr
Wood on 4 June 2018.
Hydrotaea borussica (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
A widespread but very scarce species only known in Britain from Scotland
(Perthshire, Aberdeenshire, Elgin). It seems to like open woodland and adjacent
open habitats. The larvae have been reared from cow dung in mainland Europe.
Adults fly from May to September, the females sometimes pestering with the
common H. irritans and visiting humans or livestock to feed on their perspiration.
The males swarm at height and are difficult to catch. Recorded at Tomnagowhan
Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022.
Hydrotaea pandellei (a muscid fly). Graded Data Deficient by Falk & Pont (2017). A
Scottish Highlands speciality (especially the Cairngorms) with very few British sites. It
seems to like open woodland and adjacent open habitats. The larvae have been
reared from dung in mainland Europe, where they are predators of other Diptera
larvae in common with other members of the genus. Adults fly in June and females
feed on sweat from grazing animals. Recorded in 2022 from Abernethy Forest (Nethy
Valley), Inshriach Forest and Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood suggesting it is not too rare
in the area. SF also recorded it from Insh Marshes Aspen Wood on 9 June 2013.
Iteaphila falki (an iteaphilid fly). A single male of this tiny dark fly was obtained by SF
from Loch an Eilein on 31 May 2013, probably swept from willow catkins. It did not
key out as anything British and was eventually sent to Bradley Sinclair in Canada. It
was found to be an undescribed species and was formally described in Sinclair &
Shamshev (2021) as part of a world revision of iteaphilids. As far as is known,
iteaphilds develop in decaying wood and have spring-flying adults that visit shrub
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
36
and tree blossoms. Two more pinewood sites came to light in 2022 (Steve Hewitt
and Iain MacGowan pers. comm.).
Laphria flava (Bumblebee Robberfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Drake (2017) and
a Scottish Biodiversity List species. This large and spectacular fly is a speciality of the
eastern Scottish Highlands, occurring in open-structured Caledonian pine forest and
mature plantations. The larvae develop as predators of cerambycid beetle larvae in
fallen trunks and standing stumps. Adults, which fly from May to September, can be
seen resting on such timber but partly exposed puparia sticking out of pine timber
provide another way of detecting populations and are not too difficult to find. In
2022 recorded from Loch Mallachie, Inshriach Forest and Stewart Taylor’s Nethy
Bridge garden. SF also saw several in the Glenmore Lodge area on 10 June 2013 and
one in Inshriach Forest on 7 June 2018. The Cairngorms seems to be the modern
hotspot for it in the UK.
Leucophora unistriata (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017) which states that there are no post-1960 records. A very scarce species with a
few scattered records in England (Kent, Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, Yorkshire)
plus a Scottish record from East Ross. It seems to favour open, dry areas including
sandy heaths, scrubby grassland and coastal sand dunes. Leucophora larvae live as
cleptoparasites in the nests of ground-nesting solitary Aculeate Hymenoptera but
the host preferences of L. unistriata are unclear. Adults fly in May and June.
Recorded at Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022. This appear to be only the second Scottish
record (Phil Brighton – pers. comm.).
Limnophora scrupulosa (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017). A widespread but scarce species associated with running water in a range of
habitats including woods, coastal dunes and upland areas, and around old gravel
pits. The biology is unknown but other members of the genus have predatory larvae
that develop in shallow water. Adults fly from May to August. Recorded at Feshie
Fan on 9 June 2022.
Lispocephala verna (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
widespread but scarce species that is generally found close to streams in old damp
broad-leaved woodland, and in mixed fens with scrub. The biology is unknown but
the larvae may live in running water or seasonally flooded areas among bryophytes.
Adults fly in July and August. Recorded from the swampy margins of Loch Mallachie
on 2 June 2022.
Melanostoma certum (a grass hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris
(2014) as Melanostoma dubium. The name Melanostoma dubium is invalid as the
type series proved to be a mix of M. mellinum and Platycheirus species. The species
was subsequently described under a new name, M. certum by Haarto & Ståhls
(2014). It is widespread in mountainous areas of Europe and there is little doubt that
it corresponds with the old concept of M. dubium (sensu Stubbs & Falk, 2001) from
upland parts of Britain. Scottish material has been compared with certum material
from the Pyrenees and they seem to be indistinguishable. The larvae are presumed
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
37
to develop as predators of other small invertebrates in low herbage. Adults fly from
May to August and probably visit low flowers such as buttercups and Tormentil. It
seems to be well established on the slopes of Cairn Gorm (SF records from 2013,
2017 2018, 2022). Also recorded at Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022
and Loch Einich on 7 June 2022.
Melanostoma mellarium (a grass hoverfly). Closely resembling the common but
notoriously variable M. mellinum though somewhat slimmer and longer-winged
though not to the extent of M. scalare. It was described as new to science by Haarto
& Ståhls (2014) and added to the British Isles list by Speight (2015) who recorded it
from Co. Clare Ireland. SF recorded it from three sites (Insh Marshes Aspen Wood,
Loch an Eilein and Glen Feshie near Tolvah) in 2013 and kept a good series of
specimens suspecting it might be something new. These seem to represent the first
recognised British specimens although older ones will almost certainly exist in
collections within series of Scottish M. mellinum. Recorded at Abernethy Forest
(Nethy Valley) in 2022. It seems to like open structured woodland with a grassy or
heathy ground layer and will use both broadleaved and coniferous settings.
Microdon analis (an ant-nest hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris
(2014). A widespread but localised species of open-structured, heathy woodland
(including Caledonian pine forest) with plenty of dead wood. The larvae develop in
the nests of ants such as Lasius niger or L. platythorax in well-rotted fallen trunks
and tree stumps. Adults fly from May until August and are usually encountered
sitting on, or flying around, low vegetation or dead wood. They do not visit flowers.
Small numbers encountered at Inshriach Forest on 9 June 2022. SF also encountered
it previously at School Wood, Nethy Bridge on 11 June 2013, Abernethy Forest (near
Loch a’ Chnuic) on 5 June 2018 and Coylumbridge on 7 June 2018.
Mydaea deserta (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
Widespread but localised in upland woods (both broadleaved and coniferous) of
north and west Britain. The biology is unknown but other members of the genus are
predatory in either fungi or dung. Adults fly from May to September. Recorded in
2022 from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley), Inshriach Forest and Tomnagowhan
Aspen Wood suggesting it is not too rare in the area. SF also recoded it at Loch an
Eilein on 1 June 2013.
Paregle atrisquama (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Data Deficient by Falk & Pont
(2017). Only known in Britain from a small number of sites in the Cairngorms, North
Wales and northern England. It is a montane species usually recorded at above 600
metres where flushes are present. The biology is unknown though the related P.
audacula develops in dung. Several recorded in the Cairn Gorm ski slope area on 5
June 2022.
Pegomya rugulosa (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont
(2017). Widespread but local in the Scottish Highlands (with a cluster of records from
the Cairngorms) and upland areas of northern England. The biology is unknown,
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
38
though most Pegomya species have phytophagous larvae and can be plant specific.
Adults fly in May and June. Recorded from Loch Einich on 7 June 2022.
Pegoplata palposa (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Near Threatened by Falk & Pont
(2017). A scarce species of humid woodlands showing a disjunct distribution with
scattered records in the southern half of England and others in the Scottish
Highlands. The biology is unknown. Adults fly from May to September. Recorded
from Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022.
Pegomya seitenstettensis (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk &
Pont (2017). A woodland species with larvae that mine the leaves of Wood Sorrel.
Adults fly in May and June. Recorded at Loch an Eilein on 1 June 2013. It is also
known from an area close to the Loch Garten/Mallachie car park but could not be
found in June 2022
Pelecocera scaevoides (a big-horned hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball &
Morris (2014) (as Chamaesyrphus scaevoides). A speciality of the Scottish Highlands
and fairly frequent in heathland and open-structured pine woodland of the
Cairngorms and Strathspey. The biology is unknown. Adults fly from June to August
and visit flowers such as Tormentil and Heath Bedstraw. In 2022 recorded in several
parts of Abernethy Forest plus Inshriach Forest. It is also known from School Wood,
Nethy Bridge (Tim Ransom – pers. comm.)
Pelidnoptera nigripennis (a millipede-killing fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk
(1991b). This distinctive looking dark brown fly is rare away from the Scottish
Highlands and East Anglian Brecks. It occurs in dry, shady woodland (including
Caledonian pinewoods) with plenty of dead wood and leaf litter. The larvae are
parasitoids of millipedes of the genus Ommatoiulus. Adults fly from May tol July.
Quite common in the Loch Garten area of Abernethy Forest (2018, 2022) with
further Abernethy records from the Nethy Valley (2022) and a site near Loch a’
Chnuic (2018). Also recorded at Feshie Fan in 2022 and Curr Wood in 2018.
Peribaea setinervis (a parasite fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk, Pont &
Chandler (2005). A scarce woodland-loving fly with a disjunct distribution in
Southern and Central England and northern Scotland. The larvae are parasitoids of
the caterpillars of Geometridae and Lasiocampidae that feed on a variety of trees
and shrubs. Adults fly from May to August. Recorded from Abernethy Forest (Nethy
Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Phaonia consobrina (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
widespread but localised species primarily of upland areas in Scotland, northern
England and North Wales. It can occur on both open moorland (up to 1000 metres)
and within woodland (coniferous and broadleaved). The larvae are predaceous in
soil. Adults fly from May to July and visit flowers such as Rowan, buttercups and
stonecrops. In 2022 recorded from Craigellachie NNR on 3 June, Cairn Gorm ski slope
area on 5 June and Loch Einich on 7 June, with older SF records from Cairn Gorm ski
slope on 8 June 2018 and Loch an Eilein on 31 May 2013.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
39
Phaonia falleni (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
Widespread but localised in England, Wales and Scotland where it favours damp,
peaty woodland and associated marsh, especially where Alder or Downy Birch is
present. The larvae probably develop as predators in moss or peat. Adults fly from
May to September. Recorded from Loch Mallachie on 2 June 2022 and nearby Loch
Garten on 11 June 2022.
Phaonia villana (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
widespread but very scarce fly that seems to like old, damp broadleaved woodland
with plentiful moss The predatory larvae live in dense cushions of moss on soil, rocks
or tree trunks. Adults fly from May to September. Recorded from Craigellachie NNR
on 3 June 2022. There do not appear to be many other recent Scottish records.
Phryxe magnicornis (a parasite fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk, Pont &
Chandler (2005). Widespread but seemingly scarce though not easy to distinguish
from other Phryxe species. Reared from a variety of moths and also some butterflies.
Adults fly from May to September. Recorded from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley)
on 4 June 2022.
Platycheirus melanopsis (a hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris
(2014). An upland/submontane species usually found at or above the tree line to an
altitude of at least 600 metres. Most records are from the Scottish Highlands though
there are also old records from the Lake District. The larvae may be predators of the
boreal scale insect Arctorthezia cataphracta which feeds on fungal hyphae growing
amongst tundra mosses. Adults fly from June to August. Males will often hover close
to the ground. Recorded by SF just above the Cairn Gorm car park on 29 July 2017.
Platypalpus ecalceatus (a hybotid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Crossley
(2005). A tiny predatory fly mostly recorded from the Scottish Highlands especially
Caledonian pine forest, though it is not confined to this habitat. The biology of
Platypalpus species is poorly understood. Adults fly from May to July. Recorded at
Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 6 June 2022.
Platypalpus pseudociliaris (a hybotid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk &
Crossley (2005). A tiny predatory fly with scattered records in England, Wales and
Scotland. Little is known of its habitat preferences or biology. Recorded from
Abernethy Forest, Nethy Bridge End, 7 June 2022.

(2005). A tiny predatory fly mostly recorded from the Scottish Highlands. Little
seems to be known of its biology or habitat preferences. Recorded in the Cairn Gorm
ski slope area on 5 June 2022.
Ptiolina nigra (Pale-fringed Moss-snipefly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Drake
(2017). A small black fly recorded widely but sparingly in the north and west of
Britain but with a few records for southern England e.g. the New Forest. Recorded
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
40
habitats include moorland, dune slacks, wood pasture and mire. The larvae have
been found in moss at the base of a mature oak. Adults have been recorded in May
and June. Recorded in the Cairn Gorm ski slope area on 5 June 2022 and the banks of
Loch Einich on 7 June 2022.
Renocera striata (a snail-killing fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk (1991b). A
scarce species mostly recorded from the fens and mires of Scotland, Wales plus
places such as Whixall Moss in the England/Wales border, but with a few additional
records from East Angiia. The larvae are thought to attack pea mussels (Sphaeriidae).
Adults fly from May to August. Several were recorded in swamp beside Loch
Mallachie on 2 June 2022.
Rhadiurgus variabilis (Northern Robberfly). Graded Vulnerable/Nationally Rare by
Drake (2017) and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. This is a Scottish speciality with
most records from the Eastern Highlands, especially the Cairngorms. It likes
sheltered, sunny areas of heather, especially the more open parts of Caledonian pine
woodland but also turns up on partially vegetated shingle areas alongside streams
and rivers. The larvae are presumed to be predators in light soils. Adults fly from
June to August and will rest on stones and wood. Recorded prey abroad includes a
small moth, Hybos dance-fly, Ectobius cockroach and a Hemerobius lacewing.
Recorded from Feshie Fan on 9 June.
Rhamphomyia albosegmentata (a dance fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk &
Crossley (2005). Widespread but localised in the Scottish Highlands, usually occurring
at altitude (up to 800 metres). The biology is unknown. Recorded above the Cairn
Gorm car park on 29 July 2017.
Rhamphomyia trigemina (a dance hybotid fly). Graded Near Threatened by Falk &
Crossley (2005). A speciality of Strathspey. Adults fly in May and June. Larval biology
and habitat preferences are unknown though it seems to favour riverside areas.
Recorded from Feshie Fan on 9 June.
Rhaphium gravipes (a long-legged fly). Graded Vulnerable/Nationally Rare by Drake
(2018). Reliable records are restricted to the Cairngorms, coastal sites on the
Cromarty Firth, and northern Cumbria. It seems to be associated with exposed river
gravels. The larvae are presumed to develop as predators here. Recorded from
Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022, and Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022.
Rhaphium penicillatum (a long-legged fly). Graded Data Nationally Scarce by Drake
(2018). Known from relatively few, scattered records mostly in the west of Britain
where it seems to be associated with less modified rivers featuring exposed gravels
and sediments. Recorded from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022 but
seemingly not common in the Cairngorms and Strathspey areas.
Sciapus basilicus (a long-legged fly). Graded Data Deficient/Nationally Rare by Drake
(2018). Previously only known in Britain from the Usk Valley, Gwent and the Wharfe
and Swale valleys in Yorkshire. The records from Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022 (with
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
41
encounters by both SF and NJ) appear to be the first for Scotland and represent a big
range extension. It seems to be associated with exposed river gravels and other
sediments.
Sphaerophoria virgata (a globetail hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball &
Morris (2014). A widespread but very localised hoverfly with most modern records
from the pinewoods of the Scottish Highlands, though it can occur in heathland and
the rides of commercial plantations in England. Adults fly from June to September
and visit flowers such as bedstraws and Tormentil. The larvae are presumed to
develop as aphid predators in low vegetation. In 2022 recorded in Abernethy Forest
(Nethy Valley) on 4 June and the Glenmore Lodge area on 8 June. SF has previously
recorded it from Coylumbridge on 7 June 2018.
Sphegina sibirica (a clubtail hoverfly). A relatively recent addition to the British list
(1994) that has shown such a dramatic spread across Britain that is not afforded a
national conservation status though it is on the Scottish Biodiversity List. The larvae
seem to develop primarily in sappy decay under the bark of fallen trunks or branches
of conifers such as spruces in damp, shady places. Females have been seen swarming
around freshly cut spruce logs. Recorded at several sites in 2022 and known to be
frequent in the Cairngorms and Strathspey.
Spilogona baltica (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
widespread but very localised species of damp habitats, possibly where wet mud or
flushes are present, though records include coastal dunes, river deposits, wet heath
and lake margins, from sea level to submontane. The larvae are presumed to
develop as predators in wet soil, peat or sediments. Adults fly from June to August.
Recorded at Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022 and Feshie Fan on 9
June 2022.
Spilogona griseola (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017). A
scarce fly with scattered records in the Scottish Highlands. The habitat preferences
are unclear as there are records from open blanket bog/montane flushes and birch
woodland. The biology is unknown, although larvae of other members of the genus
develop as predators in damp soil, shallow water and moss cushions. Adults fly in
June and July. One recorded at Loch Einich on 7 June 2022.
Spilogona litorea (a muscid fly). Graded Near Threatened by Falk & Pont (2017).
Very scarce with a few scattered records in Scotland, northern England and South
Wales. The habitat preferences are unclear but include coastal dunes, exposed river
deposits, woodland, and loch margins but the larvae are likely to be aquatic/semi-
aquatic predators. Adults have been found in June. Recorded at Feshie Fan on 9 June
2022. There are also older records from this site.
Spiriverpa lunulata (Northern Silver-stilleto). Graded Nationally Scarce by Drake
(2017) and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A stunning silvery-grey fly (especially
the males) associated with exposed river gravels of unmodified river sections in the
north and west of Britain. The larvae are presumed to develop as predators in the
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
42
finer silts and sediments of the riverine deposits. Adults fly from May to August and
are usually seen resting on stones and boulders. The Cairngorms and Strathspey are
national strongholds, and good numbers were seen at Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022,
including small aerial swarms of silver-flashing males in periods of sunshine. A single
female was also recorded in nearby Inshriach Forest on the same day. SF has also
encountered the species along Glen Feshie (near Tolvah) on 8 June 2018 and there
are further recent records from along the Spey between Kincraig and Aviemore.
Suillia vaginata (a heleomyzid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk, Ismay &
Chandler (2016). A very scarce species with scattered records in Scotland, Wales and
England but especially Strathspey. It seems able to use both broadleaved and
coniferous woodland. The larvae probably develop in fungi. Adults are found from
June to November, but mainly in the autumn. Recorded from Tomnagowhan Aspen
Wood on 6 June 2022.
Tetanocera phyllophora (a snail-killing fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk (1991b).
A woodland species, especially damper/humid (though not necessarily wet) woods
with a lush ground flora. This includes both base-rich ash-oak woodland, and more
acidic pine woodland, including Caledonian pine forest. It is local but widespread in
Britain and most frequent in hilly districts of the north and west. The larvae attack
terrestrial snails such as Discus species. Adults can be recorded from May until
September. In 2022 it was recorded from several; parts of Abernethy Forest,
Inshriach Forest and Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood.
Themira gracilis (an ensign fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk, Ismay & Chandler
(2016) and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A northern and western-biased
species usually found on wet heath and moorland with some grazing. The larvae
probably develop in rotten substances such as animal dung, bird guano or
decomposing animals, although exact preferences are not known. Adults are
recorded in June and July and have been found at riverside cattle watering spots,
where mud and dung are trampled in together. Recorded at Feshie Fan on 9 June
2022.
Thricops hirtulus (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
Recorded sparingly in the Scottish Highlands with a few additional records for Skye,
and upland areas of Northern England and Wales. It typically occurs at altitude,
including over 1000 metres in the Cairngorms. The biology is unknown, though
larvae are probably predators in thin soils. Adults fly in June and July. Recorded from
Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022 with earlier SF records from the
Cairn Gorm car park area on 12 July 2017, and Cairn Gorm Ptarmigan Station where
it was quite numerous on 12 July 2017.
Thricops sudeticus (a muscid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
Found locally within central and northern England plus Scotland. It seems to favour
damp, shaded broadleaved woodland, often where there is bracken and lots of lying
dead wood. The larvae may develop in fungi. Adults fly from June to September.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
43
Recorded by SF in the Cairn Gorm ski slope area 29 July 2017 which is an atypically
open location for it.
Xylota tarda (Aspen Leafwalker hoverfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Ball & Morris
(2014). Widespread but localised in England, Wales and Scotland where it is strongly
associated with Aspen Woodland. The larvae develop in sap runs of Aspen and under
the bark of recently fallen trees. Adults fly from April to October and are usually seen
on sunlit foliage. They do not seem to visit flowers. Recorded at Curr Wood by SF on
4 June 2018.
Zabrachia tenella (Pine Black soldierfly). Graded Endangered by Drake (2017). A tiny
black soldierfly of pine woodland, especially mature plantations. Old records are
scattered widely over Britain, but modern ones are very few, hence the status. The
larvae develop under the bark of recently dead pines in the vacated galleries of bark
beetles. Adults are recorded in June and July. The rarity of this species is inexplicable,
and it may be under-recorded due to the small and elusive adults. Recorded near the
Loch Garten/Mallachie car park on 11 June 2022.
Zaphne inuncta (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Falk & Pont (2017).
A widespread but localised species in the southern half of Britain with a few further
records in the north of Scotland, notably the Cairngorms. It seems to require boggy
pools and wet heathland/valley mire. The predatory larvae probably develop in wet
peat. Adults fly from April to August. Recorded from Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley)
on 4 June 2022.
Zaphne spiniclunis (an anthomyiid fly). Graded Near Threatened by Falk & Pont
(2017). Known mainly from the Cairngorms, with further localities in Angus,
Aberdeenshire, Banffshire, Easterness and Westerness. It occurs in montane areas
between 280 and 1100 metres with most records from above 750m. The larvae
probably develop as predators in wet areas such as seepages and around melting
snow beds. Recorded from the Cairn Gorm ski slope area by SF on 29 May 2013.
Hymenoptera (ants, bees, wasps & sawflies)
Andrena ruficrus (Northern Sallow Mining Bee). Graded RDB3 in Falk (1991a). A
northern-biased species of Scotland and northern England that forages exclusively
on willows/sallows in spring or (in the most boreal settings) into June. Nesting occurs
in bare, sandy ground such as low earth banks at the edge of woodland rides and
tracks. One female recorded on very late willow blossom at Abernethy Forest (Nethy
Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Bombus monticola (Bilberry/Blaeberry Bumblebee). A Scottish Biodiversity List
species. A very distinctive bee of Bilberry-rich landscapes in north and west Britain,
especially upland areas. Queens forage heavily on Bilberry and willows in spring, but
workers are more reliant on clovers, thistles, bramble and heathers. They will also
take honeydew from aphids on Common Juniper. Frequent and widespread in the
Cairngorms.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
44
Crossocerus leucostoma (a hunting wasp). Graded Nationally Scarce (Notable A) by
Falk (1991a). A species of Scotland and northern England that is associated with
coniferous woodland. Nesting occurs in dead wood (including log piles). Nest cells
are stocked with small flies. Adults fly from May to August. Recorded at Abernethy
Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022 and Feshie Fan on 9 June 2022. SF also
recorded some on a log pile in Abernethys Forest (just south of Nethy Bridge) on 11
June 2013.
Chrysura hirsuta (a ruby-tailed wasp). Graded Nationally Rare (RDB3) in Falk (1991a)
and a Scottish Biodiversity List species. A rare species that is associated with three
Osmia mason bees: O. uncinata in Scottish pinewoods, O. inermis at a few montane
sites in the Scottish Highlands, and O. parietina on limestone pavement and in other
upland areas with dry stone walls. All three hosts forage heavily on Bird’s-foot Trefoil
as a pollen source C. hirsuta is much rare than the hosts and a high proportion of its
British records are from the pinewoods of the Cairngorms and Strathspey. Recorded
at Loch Mallachie on 2 June 2022 and the entrance drive to the Kinrara Estate on 3
June 2022.
Dolichovespula saxonica (Saxon Wasp). Graded RDBK in Falk (1991a). First recorded
in Britain in 1987 (Surrey) but now found in most parts of Britain and becoming
widespread in Scotland. Nests can be suspended from twigs in bushes and trees or
located in cavities of various sorts. The males are usually seen on the flowers of
umbellifers, brambles and thistles in late summer. Spring queens are particularly
attracted by sallow catkins and Bilberry flowers. Workers collect invertebrate prey
for the grubs and will visit flowers such as thistles and brambles. Two queens were
seen at Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood on 7 June 2022. Also recorded by SF on 13
August 2013 at Kincraig (a worker on Creeping Thistle) which was the first Scottish
record.
Formica aquilonia (Scottish Wood Ant). Graded Nationally Scarce (Notable B) by Falk
(1991a). Confined to the Scottish Highlands where it can be common in pinewoods,
though not always easy to distinguish from the Northern Wood Ant (F. lugubris).
Large nest mounds are made at the edges of woodland. These in turn can support
various other scarce insects including the beetles Clytra quadripunctata and
Protaetia cuprea mentioned above. Recorded from Torr Alvie on 3 June 2022 and
Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022, though probably much more
widespread as ants were not a target group in 2022.
Formica exsecta (Sharp-headed Ant). Graded Endangered by Falk (1991a) and a
Scottish Biodiversity List species. Resembling a small wood ant and creating small
mound nests in heathland and grassland close to the edges of woods, usually where
some trees are present. The British population is almost entirely confined to the
pinewoods of the Cairngorms and Strathspey plus a single site in Devon. Recorded
from Torr Alvie on 3 June 2022 and Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022,
though ants were not a target group in 2022.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
45
Monoctenus juniperi (a diprionid sawfly). Graded Nationally Scarce by Musgrove
(2022). Associated with Juniper in the Scottish Highlands especially the Cairngorms.
The caterpillar-like larvae feed on Juniper foliage. They are green or straw-coloured
with three longitudinal dark stripes and a dark head capsule. Adults fly in May and
June. Recorded in Abernethy Forest (Nethy Valley) on 4 June 2022.
Osmia uncinata (Pinewood Mason Bee). Graded RDB2 in Falk (1991a) and a Scottish
Biodiversity List species. A speciality of the eastern Scottish Highlands, especially the
Cairngorms where it requires native pine woodland or mature plantations. Nesting
occurs in cavities in dead wood along sunny, warm woodland
margins/rides/clearings. Foraging is almost entirely from Bird’s-foot Trefoil. Not
recorded by the authors in 2022 but modern locations in various parts of north-west
Abernethy Forest were passed on to us by Stewart Taylor. SF recorded one along the
south edge of School Wood, Nethy Bridge on 11 June 2013 but no Bird’s-foot Trefoil
was present there in 2022. The scarcity of Bird’s-foot Trefoil in Abernethy Forest is
flagged as a limiting factor for it and some seeding of the plant is strongly
recoemmended.
Pemphredon rugifer (a hunting wasp). Graded Nationally Rare in Falk (1991a). A
scarce wasp with a disjunct distribution as records are concentrated within the
Scottish Highlands (notably the Cairngorms and Strathspey) and the south of
England. There is a good chance that two species are involved. Nesting occurs in
dead wood, typically of pines in the northern population. The nest cells are stocked
with aphids. Recorded from the entrance drive to Kinrara/Torr Alvie on 3 June 2022
with previous SF records for Coylumbridge and Curr Wood, both on 7 June 2018.
Tachysphex pompiliformis (a hunting wasp). A Scottish Biodiversity List species. A
species of dry grassy and sandy habitats. Quite common in southern Britain but rare
in Scotland. Nests are excavated in the ground and stocked with paralysed
grasshoppers. Adults fly from May to September. Recorded at Tomnagowhan Aspen
Wood on 6 June 2022.

APPENDIX 2 - Profiles for selected sites
These are provided for the nine sites that produced particularly good species lists.
Eight are sites visited in 2022 (some of which had additional data from the 2013-18
period such as Cairn Gorm) plus one sites only visited in the 2013-18 period (Curr
Wood). Full species lists for thesel sites can be found in the accompanying Excel
spreadsheet (summarised in Appendix 3).
The sites covered are:
• Abernethy Forest NNR (including Loch Garten and Loch Mallachie)
• Cairn Gorm Ski Slope Area (including Ptarmigan)
• Craigellachie NNR
• Curr Wood
• Feshie Fan
• Inshriach Forest
• Loch an Eilein
• Loch Einich
• Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood

Abernethy Forest NNR (including Loch Garten and Loch Mallachie)
Several parts of this diverse NNR have now been surveyed over several days and
scarce species seem to be present throughout though many occur in very specific
locations and some areas support a far higher number of scarce species and general
insect diversity than others. An impressive 47 species with conservation statuses
have been recorded plus four further significant species that are likely to gain a
status in any new status reviews (see table below).
The Nethy Valley south of Forest Lodge was by far the most productive area,
representing a complex habitat mosaic featuring extensive exposed river gravels,
flood plain grassland/wet heath, scrub, old-growth Scots Pine woodland plus patches
of Alder woodland. It produced thirty species with conservation statuses on just one
day (4 June 2022), which is outstanding.
The swampy areas beside Loch Mallachie produced ten species with conservation
statuses on the afternoon of 2 June 2022. This includes a mix of wetland species such
as the scathophagids Cordilura atrata, C. rufimana, horsefly Hybomitra lurida and
snail-killing fly Renocera striata plus others associated with dead pine e.g. the
Bumblebee Hoverfly Laphria flava and ruby-ailed wasp Chrysura hirsuta. More
extensive surveying of the swamp here could potentially raise that list substantially
as it is a very impressive looking area but hard to access due to the depth of water in
places. The presence of the Chrysura hirsuta here suggests that the Pinewood Mason
Bee Osmia uncinata may be nesting nearby. There was also a possible sighting of a
Pine Hoverfly Blera fallax feeding on Cowberry. Artificial Blera breeding stumps are
only a few hundred metres away.
Loch Garten produced eight species with conservation statuses. The swamp at the
north end is not as impressive as that at Loch Mallachie (though swamp at the south
end is confluent with that of Loch Mallachie). Tthe entomological interest was more
associated with the dead wood and older pine trees or the drier herb layer. At both
Loch Garten and Loch Mallachie, considerable effort was made to check for the
presence of Ernoneura argus, a rare and distinctive looking scathophagid fly of
northern lake shores that is well known from these lochs. Both searches were
unsuccessful despite being within the known flight period.
The north end of the Forest supports younger, secondary pine woodland with a
plantation-like character, though dead wood creation is taking place in various areas.
The rides here are important for Osmia uncinata which forages on the patches of
Bird’s-foot Trefoil (BFT). The bee was not seen by SF and NJ in 2022 (mainly because
weather was suboptimal on the days allotted for searching for it) but Stewart Taylor
provided information on where he has seen the bee in recent years. The rides and
clearing could do with a lot more BFT and this report strongly recommends that
some seeding of BFT is carried out as a matter of urgency, because this is almost
certainly the limiting factor for the O. uncinata population.
Stewart Taylor’s Firwood Cottage garden represents the edge of Abernethy Forest,
and despite its small size produced records of Laphria flava (clearly breeding in a

pine stump there), the hoverfly Callicera rufa and the Critically Endangered longhorn
beetle Anastrangalia sanguinolenta.
Old and dead pines (including stumps, fallen trunks and log piles) throughout the
Forest are clearly important for a special assemblage of saproxylic insects that
include the beetles Anastrangalia sanguinolenta, Rhagium inquisitor and Dictyoptera
aurora, the hoverflies Blera fallax, Callicera rufa and Sphegina sibirica, the robberfly
Laphria flava, the soldierfly Zabrachia tenella, the bee Osmia uncinata and the wasp
Crossocerus leucostoma. It is important to understand the different types of dead
wood and tree wounds that these species individually require (see species accounts)
so that these microhabitats can be promoted by sensitive and informed
management.
Some of these saproxylics also require spring flowers and blossoms for adult
foraging. Increasing the amount of Rowan, Bird Cherry, Wild Cherry, willows and
Hawthorn in and around the Forest is also recommended. An outstanding Highlands
hoverfly assemblage is present in the Forest and many of these rely heavily on tree
and shrub blossom. The scarce Northern Sallow Mining Bee Andrena ruficrus
specifically requires willow/sallow blossom.

Cairn Gorm Ski Slope Area (including Ptarmigan)
The visit on 5 June 2022 coincided with a particularly hot day and insect numbers
were relatively low, though having two entomologists working the site helped to
extend the species list. Visits by SF in 2013, 2017 and 2018 coincided with cooler and
damper conditions and included some late summer dates. This has added various
species to the 2022 list. The list contains several montane/submontane specialists
typically found above the tree line including Alliopsis atronitens, Helina annosa,
Melanostoma certum, Paregle atrisquama, Phaonia lugubris, Platycheirus
melanopsis, P. ramsarensis, Rhamphomyia albosegmentata, Spilogona meadei, S.
solitariana, Thricops hirtulus, T. rostratus and Zaphne spiniclunis. Some of the other
species recorded are stragglers from lower altitudes and unlikely to be breeding in
the immediate area. Flowering willows in late spring and early summer can attract
large numbers of insects, especially queen bumblebees and conspicuous dance flies
such as Empis borealis. All told, eighteen species with conservation statuses have
been recorded to date plus one species of muscid fly (Coenosia acuminata) new to
Britain in 2022.

Curr Wood
Much of the time spent here is 2013 and 2018 by SF focussed on finding the Pine
Hoverfly Blera fallax and providing training to Pine Hoverfly survey volunteers so
relatively little intense surveying was carried out. Nevertheless, several scarcer
species have been recorded:
Diptera
Blera fallax CR, SBL (2013)
Eupeodes nielseni NS (2013)

which in 2013 was attracting small numbers of a nomad bee close to Nomada
panzeri. Four of these were DNA sequenced, which helped establish the presence of
the Bilberry Nomad Bee Nomada glabella in Britain and confirm it is a distinct
species.

Feshie Fan
The afternoon spent here on 9 June 2022 produced a good species list containing
seventeen species with conservation statuses. An eighteenth, the Five-spot Ladybird
Coccinella quinquepunctata, had been recorded by SF in August 2013 on what had
been an otherwise unproductive day following a very dry summer. Four species are
included in the Scottish Biodiversity List. The scarcer species were:

Campiglossa argyrocephala RDB3
Chelifera monostigma NS

The Northern Stiletto Spiriverpa lunulata and Five-spot Ladybird are river gravel
specialists. Rhamphomyia trigemina and Cordilura picticornis are Strathspey riverside
specialities, the latter being specifically associated with Water Sedge. There was no
sign of another Strathspey riverside speciality, the stilt-legged fly Cnodocophora
stylifera which tends to be associated with riverside sedges. The population of Helina
protuberans is unusual in that it is a coastal dune specialist over most of Britain,
typically in the Marram zone. Presumably it is finding similar conditions in the
sandiest river deposits of Strathspey where it has been known for many years.
River gravel sites like this can be slow to reveal their secrets and this is a site that
ideally needs regular monitoring using a range of sampling techniques.

Inshriach Forest
The limited time spent here in 2018 and rather suboptimal cloudy weather in 2022
compromised recording though this is clearly an interesting area with the potential
produce a long species list. It has been studied by other entomologists previously
such as Iain MacGowan. The ‘northern’ hoverfly assemblage is particularly fine and
includes Chrysotoxum arcuatum, Didea intermedia, Microdon analis, Parasyrphus
vittiger, Pelecocera scaevoides, Platycheirus europaeus, P. ramsarensis and
Sphaerophoria philanthus. The pine woodland is rather even aged and lacks old
trees but fallen dead wood is plentiful in both open and shaded locations. Thus us
important for species such as Laphria flava and Microdon analis. The open rides and
clearings are quite flowery in places. The scarcer species recorded were:

Visits by SF in 2013 were during a family holiday and did not feature especially

Loch Einich
It was fortunate to be able to survey this beautiful area in fine, sunny, mild weather
with little wind on 7 June 2022. Ten species (all flies) with conservation statuses
were recorded:
Bellardia pubicornis NS
Cephenemyia auribarbis NS
Cheilosia sahlbergi VU/SBL
Dorylomorpha albitarsis NS
Ectinocera borealis RDB3
Melanostoma certum NS
Pegomya rugulosa NS
Phaonia consobrina NS
Ptiolina atra NS
Spilogona griseola NS
The most significant of these is the hoverfly Cheilosia sahlbergi which is known from
relatively few British sites, all montane. The larvae graze the roots of Alpine Bistort in
high altitude grassland. The most dramatic is the large, bumblebee-mimicking Deer
Bot/Deer Nostril Fly Cephenemyia auribarbis which has larvae that develop in the
nasal cavities of Red Deer. Both these flies were found at the south end of the loch,
with small numbers of male C. auribarbis resting on boulders along one of the inflow
streams. A dark-legged form (nigripes) of the chloropid Elachiptera cornuta was of
note. Some continental workers treat it as a distinct species.
The most productive parts of the site were the damp grassland and associated
flushes at the south end, and the flushes flowing into the loch along the east and
west shores. Long stretches of the loch shore were swept and perused for evidence
of the rare scathophagid Ernoneura argus without any success, though this is a
historical location for it. It was too early in the year to record the empidid fly
Wiedemannia simplex which is currently only known in Britain from Loch Avon and
Loch Etchachan a few miles away (MacGowan 2018, 2021). Loch Einich is possibly
too low in altitude (with waters too warm) for it.

Tomnagowhan Aspen Wood
Very little Diptera recording appears to have taken place in this important Aspen
wood historically. The visit on 6 June produced an impressive list containing eighteen
species with conservation statuses plus one species new to the British list (the
tachinid fly Gymnocheta magna). The scarce species recorded were:
Coleoptera
Clytra quadripunctata NS
Diptera
Botanophila lobata NS
Brachyopa pilosa NS
Calliphora loewi NS
Clusiodes apicalis NT
Dorylomorpha albitarsis NS
Ectinocera borealis RDB3

Hymenoptera
Bombus monticola SBL
Dolichovespula saxonica RDBK
Tachysphex pompiliformis SBL
The Aspen-associated fauna was the highlight and one recently fallen Aspen tree
with bark still largely attached attracted small numbers of the Aspen Hoverfly
Hammerschmidtia ferruginea, the sap hoverfly Brachyopa pilosa, the muscid fly
Phaonia goberti and the cranefly Gnophomyia viridipennis. Older fallen trunks
attracted Clusiodes apicalis and a Tachydromia species (no specimens of the last
were captured so species unclear). Efforts were made to record three further Aspen
specialists, Xylota tarda, Homalocephala biumbrata and Strongylophthalmyia
ustulata without success. Flowering Pignut in various places attracted large numbers
of flies, and it is thought that this was where the female Gymnocheta magna was
swept. Rowan blossom attracted good numbers of hoverflies, including H.
ferruginea. Lonchaea albitarsis does not have a conservation grade but the record
here may be only the second from Britain.

APPENDIX 5 - Definitions of British conservation status categories
1. Status Categories and Criteria Version 1 (Shirt, 1987)
These status categories and criteria were introduced for British insects by Shirt (1987) and
received some modifications by later authors (e.g., Falk, 1991a & b; Hyman and Parsons,
1992; Kirby, 1992).
Red Data Book category EXTINCT
Definition: Species which were formerly native to Britain but have not been recorded since
1900.
Red Data Book category 1 (RDB1), Endangered
Definition: Species in danger of extinction and whose survival is unlikely if causal factors
continue to operate. Endangered species either (a) occur as only a single population within
one 10-km square, or (b) only occur in especially vulnerable habitats, or (c) have been
declining rapidly or continuously for twenty years or more to the point where they occur in
five or fewer 10-km squares, or (d) may already have become extinct.
Red Data Book category 2 (RDB2), Vulnerable
Definition: Species which are likely to move into the Endangered category in the near future
if causal factors continue to operate. Vulnerable species are declining throughout their
range or occupy vulnerable habitats.
Red Data Book category 3 (RDB3), Rare
Definition: Species which occur in small populations and although not currently either
Endangered or Vulnerable are at risk. Rare species exist in 15 or fewer 10-km squares or are
more widespread than this but dependent on small areas of especially vulnerable habitat.
Red Data Book category I (RDBi), Indeterminate
Definition: Species considered to be either Endangered, Vulnerable or Rare but with
insufficient information to say which.
Red Data Book category K (RDBK), Insufficiently Known
Definition: Species suspected to merit either Endangered, Vulnerable, Rare or Indeterminate
status but lacking sufficient information. Species included in this category may have only
recently been discovered in Britain or may be very poorly recorded for a variety of reasons.
Nationally Scarce (NS)
Definition: Species which do not fall within Red Data Book categories, but which are
nonetheless uncommon in Great Britain and thought to occur in between 16 and 100 10-km
squares of the National Grid. In some reviews this category is divided into:
• Category A (Na) - thought to occur in between 16 and 30 10-km squares)
• Category B (Nb) - thought to occur in between 31 and 100 10-km squares of the
2 Status Categories and Criteria Version 2 (IUCN, 2001)
These later status categories and criteria are based on IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria
version 3.1 (IUCN, 2001) and have been applied to British butterflies, dragonflies, water
beetles and a few other invertebrate groups.
Critically Endangered (CR)
Definition: A taxon is Critically Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it
is facing an extremely high risk of extinction in the wild.
Endangered (EN)
Definition: A taxon is Endangered when the best available evidence indicates that it is facing
a very high risk of extinction in the wild.
Vulnerable (VU)
Definition: A taxon is Vulnerable when the best available evidence indicates that it is facing a
high risk of extinction in the wild.
Entomological survey of some Cairngorms sites, Steven Falk & Nigel Jones, 2023
116
N.B.: Species belonging to the above three categories may be collectively referred to as
‘Threatened’.
Data Deficient (DD)
Definition: A taxon is Data Deficient when there is inadequate information to make a direct,
or indirect, assessment of its risk of extinction based on its distribution and/or population
status. A taxon in this category may be well studied, and its biology well known, but
appropriate data on abundance and/or distribution are lacking. Data Deficient is therefore
not a category of threat. Listing of taxa in this category indicates that more information is
required and acknowledges the possibility that future research will show that threatened
classification is appropriate.
The DD category effectively replaces the Indeterminate (RDBi) and Insufficiently Known
(RDBK) categories of the earlier version.
Near Threatened (NT)
Definition: A taxon is Near Threatened when it has been evaluated against the criteria but
does not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered or Vulnerable now, but is close to
qualifying for or is likely to qualify for a threatened category in the near future.
Least Concern (LC)
Definition: A taxon is Least Concern when it has been evaluated against the criteria and does
not qualify for Critically Endangered, Endangered, Vulnerable or Near Threatened.
Widespread and abundant taxa are included in this category.
Not Applicable (NA)
Definition: A taxon is Not Applicable when it is regarded as a non-native in Britain or occurs
solely as a natural vagrant.
3 Status Categories and Criteria Version 3 (GB Rarity Status)
These status categories and criteria operate in parallel with version 2 and are defined
specifically for use in Britain where they provide some continuity with version 1, allowing the
continued use of “rare and scarce” species for site assessment purposes.
Nationally Rare (NR)
Definition: Native species which have not been recorded from more than 15 British hectads
in recent decades and where there is reasonable confidence that exhaustive recording
would not find them in more than 15 hectads. This category includes species which are
probably extinct.
Nationally Scarce (NS)
Definition: Native species which are not regarded as Nationally Rare AND which have not
been recorded from more than 100 British hectads in recent decades and where there is
reasonable confidence that exhaustive recording would not find them in more than 100
hectads.
4 Scottish Biodiversity List (SBL) species
These are species of conservation concern listed by NatureScot on their website here:
https://www.nature.scot/doc/scottish-biodiversity-list. The lists (at least for Diptera and
aculeate Hymenoptera) are not based on a rigid evaluation process and some of the species
listed are not especially rare or threatened whilst many very rare and threatened species are
omitted. However, listed species have policy-based protection and are therefore flagged
here.
