General comments
Widespread resident.

It would be a surprise if any site failed to record this species, which can only really be confused with some examples of Currant Pug. However, melanic forms exist and may be deceptively similar to some other pug species.

Recorded in 37 (90%) of 41 10k Squares.
First Recorded in 1887.
Last Recorded in 2023.
