Ladybirds again. Over the past week I'v had four records from three people of spotless 24-spot (Subcoccinella vigintiquattuorpunctata) ladybirds. I've...
I've uploaded a picture (called what_ladybird.jpg) to the photos area. The following URL should work http://makeashorterlink.com/?I1EA2410B but if it does not...
Well, David ...... If it is an 18-spot, it's unusual but I don't see what else it can be! I can count 16, possibly 18 spots but the pattern around the...
It was found in my light trap on the morning of 1st May. I'm not aware of any pine trees in the immediate vicinity (although I'm not sure what all my...
Yes, that's a better view David: it's Calvia quattuordecimguttata, cream-streaked ladybird. You can let it go now! Best wishes, Paul ... From: "David Howdon"...
Thanks Paul. I've now released it. I've updated the name of the picture in the photos area. I've also uploaded another picture to the photos are of what I...
Yes, I would think Propylea quattuordecimpunctata. A little unusual (for London specimens) in having the spots fairly distinct and not too rectilinear. Most...
A reminder that we have an LNHS field trip tomorrow evening. This public event is no charge to LNHS members. Richard Bullock is leading the trip. It will be...
Probably not a good enough photo but is it possible to tell what this beetle is http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z1922450B Its colours made it a rather convincing...
Good morning, David. Can't see enough detail of this really but, on the theory that most common is most likely, could well be he wasp beetle Clytus arietis...

just a reminder that we have a spider hunt lead by Edward Milner coming up on Sunday. Syon Park is a wonderful unspoiled water meadow with a natural river...
We do have a problem in this group in that several Recorders are not in the group and some, like Ken, do not do internet. Ken, however, is most keen to deal...
Pictures of a couple of invertebrate things found yesterday at Perivale Wood. Any idea what these two are? 1) Beetle Larva - found under an old railway...
Dear David, The larva is a 'leatherjacket' - click beetle, Elateridae - certainly wouldn't want to hazard a guess on species: although, purely on statistical ...
Thanks Mick and Paul for responses. Is this then a spider egg sac or is it a sac it has created for some other purpose? Is it possible to identify the species...
Having just returned from the B.A.S. AGM and field weekend (somewhat overshadowed by very inclement weather!) we were this morning at Strete next to Slapton...

What I meant was, it's a 'wireworm'. 'Leatherjackets' are the larvae of large tipulids. Sorry, Paul ... statistical ... Agriotes...
You don't get this luxury service on any other message boards : We saw this very egg sac at Bookham Common on Saturday and this reply comes from Oliver...
... That is excellent Mick, thanks. I do appreciate the help I get on these boards. -- David Howdon (http://freespace.virgin.net/david.howdon/) -- No virus...
I've uploaded a photo into the album Shield Bug, perhaps someone could help me with the identification. I can't find a good match in any of my books or on...
Nice picture - better than I have in the books. Looks rhopalid: Rhopalus subrufus? This is the most common Rh. species and may be numerous at this time of...
Looking through the pictures in "Shieldbugs of Surrey" it looks least unlike Rhopalus subrufus. That book also shows two peaks for adults in mid-late May and...
... Thanks for this. Checking Roberts, M.J. "Spiders - Britain and Northern Europe" reveals that there are two species in Agroeca that form mud egg sacs ...
Oliver may know more, but I think it's getting a bit tentative to get down to species level on the basis of egg sac shape. As you see, Roberts doesn't try to...
I'll settle for Rhopalus subrufus, which was Paul's idea too. I don't have the 'Shieldbugs of Surrey' book although I know it generally recommended. Not...
Well, buying the Surrey books (all excellent, as far as I can judge) at least contributes to future conservation and investigation in Surrey - so it's a 'good...
Please check the LNHS programme to remind yourself about the bat walk on Friday evening and the mammals of Richmond Park on Saturday morning. I am particularly...
