We did a trapping session for the wood wardens in Sherradspark last night and there was an embarrassing lack of moths, 30 species. Not a great way to show people moths 😟. But a couple of Tanner Beetles turned up. #coleoptera. #longhornbeetles.
Tanner Beetle. Prionus coriarius. A chunky black beetle with impressive antennae.

Probability of Anoplophora horsfieldii establishment on Jeju Island after ten years, based on a rule-based cellular automata simulation using the MigClim platform in R 3.6.2. The probability was calculated using 100 replicated runs with a specific spread scenario, defined as the frequency of establishment cases out of 100. Detailed simulation conditions are provided in the Materials and Methods section. The dark blue area represents unsuitable cells where lower climatic suitability nor absence of proper host species.
