The Northants Biodiversity Records Centre has records going back about 20 years but the vast majority of records have been in the last 10. The distribution of records is largely a reflection of where recorders have worked, rather than a true picture of the status of the group. The South-west of the county is particularly under-recorded. A examples of our species are presented here.
