Other Wildlife: With a drop of several degrees and damp overcast conditions there were hardly any flying insects compared with yesterday, notably no butterflies or mining bees recorded. However, terrestrial invertebrates could still be found; with two new species for the Recording Area, both under driftwood. Firstly, the click beetle Melanotus villosus, a predominantly black species found on deadwood.

The second new species was a very long thin millipede Henia vesuviana, an under-recorded species, often found under wood and stone.
