English rock-bristle  (Seligeria calycina)

Range

This species is endemic to Europe; in Britain it has a wide distribution in the chalklands of southeast England, reaching up to Humberside and down to south Devon (4). Outside of Britain it is very rare; it has been recorded from Belgium, France and Italy (4).

Habitat

Inhabits various sizes of chalk fragments, typically found on the ground in woodlands, but it also occurs in chalk pits and, very rarely, chalk grassland (5).
