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

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

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

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

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

             In 2016, beetles thought to be Ocys harpaloides were shown to comprise two species, Ocys harpaloides

             was dissected and found to be a female Ocys tachysoides. This species was subsequently found at six more
             locations but Ocys harpaloides was not recorded

                  I’m not sure whether Phytomyza jucunda has been recorded in the UK yet but it is safer to record this species
                  as an aggregate. I did not examine any puparia

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

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