Discovered in London on Acton green, clasped to a bag of pitas in a Lebanese grocery store. Since it was generally assumed that occlupanids were deemed extinct in Great Britain, this has come as quite a surprise. Though a small number of other species have been found since its discovery in 2003, it has the distinction of being the first occlupanid from the British Isles in our collection.
