Organisms seen on or near Lime trees (Tilia genus)
This is a link to my observations on Inaturalist of organisms which I have seen on or near Lime trees (Tilia genus), mostly in Battersea Park:
Details of the species seen are set out in the following tables, updated on 16 June 2024. Click on "obs" to view my photographs of the observation. Click on the species name to see a Google search. The common name may link to the relevant page on Naturespot, but some links do not work as common names vary.
Species identifications may not be correct, particularly for "Needs ID" observations.
