Suprising lack of records for this species: http://data.nbn.org.uk/gridMap/gridMap.jsp?allDs=1&srchSpKey=NHMSYS0000376773

Whats more surprising is that one of the records comes from the Welsh Invertebrate Database. I'll keep any witty comments to myself...

Hello Charlie

At first glance this does look a bit peculiar but is most likely to be the consequence of recording host species along with parasite records. This is also the likely explanation for a lot of the domestic horse, cat, dog and cattle records on the Gateway

Damn, I was hoping for a more exciting explanation... such as the welsh record being part man, part insect, like the creature from The Fly.
