Tiny snow fleas are active in winter but few sightings are known in the county, the group says.
Rosemary Winnall says the Wyre Forest Study Group wants to hear about more snow flea sightings in its area
A wildlife group is urging people in Worcestershire to report sightings of a type of insect so members can learn more about their habitats.The Wyre Forest Study Group said there were few records of them in the area. "They are often overlooked due to their size and there are not many people looking for them," Rosemary Winnall, from the group, said.Snow fleas are about 5mm in length and can withstand low temperatures
Forests and hills, such as the Malverns, may well be great places to see them at this time of year, Ms Winnall told "I love to find snow fleas because they are one of the few insects that are active as adults over the winter time and they can withstand very low temperatures."
