I just realised that I didn't attach the photo of Tachystola acroxantha in my recent post, so for completeness here it is. How widespread is this species in Bucks now?
There are about 55 Bucks records up to the end of 2015, but only from about 10 sites. Most are in the South of the county, and the Eastern half. So they still have the Western half of the county to spread into. The first records were from Chorleywood in 2011.
Included in those records there are actually one or two from the Milton Keynes area, Dave Maunder had it in Aylesbury last year and it reached me at Westcott on 16th July 2016, so it does seem to be slowly filling in the gaps.
