I'm sure you will all be looking for something else to do in the summer .. A survey of the feeding and nesting habits of bumblebees is being organised by...
... This is a good idea, since we have already had four dead bees in our house (three in the dining room one morning). I have no idea how they get in; our ...

Peter, I think you'll find it easier than you expect. I did a trial for this a couple of years ago and trying to make sense of clouds of bumblebees seems ...
A post script. Any study of the causes of Bombus mortality might be useful. I suspect that recent deaths are related to temperature fluctuations. Bees perhaps...
Hello everyone, If the bumble bee survey is not enough to satisfy your appetite this summer, then please consider contributing to this year's square-bashing...

Following from Paul's last message, I have put up a file with some primitive photos of a ladybird I bagged this morning. I know that markings are highly...
Dear Mick, I'm unable to get access to Yahoo at the moment so can't comment on the ladybird but will try later. With regard to manipulating bitmaps/jpegs,...
Yo Mick, After what seemed like an hour I managed to download the file (1.5Mb which might stretch some peoples' modems!). Indeed, you have 10-spots and a...
Thanks for the id help. I downloaded IrfanView, it looks like a really good tool. Thanks again for that tip. I have now uploaded the enhanced photo of the 10...
Dear Mick, Going back to your original mail, I think that these photos are really very good despite your ad hoc technique. Certainly adequate for common...
Dear Mick, Good. With regard to 'common' ladybirds. There are problems with reporting. If you look at various surveys you will find that C. 7-punctata (in...
Dear Mick and all, Sorry but a PS. No, I've never seen a Pine ladybird on a Pine tree either (although Eyed ladybirds are almost specifically attached to...
I used a Fuji Finepix with an Agfa-Lupe 8x (the kind used for looking at photos and negatives.) The Lup has a perspex cone which means I can hold it over the...

Yes, when I get my round tuit I'll do a lot of things. I think that the technology with digital cameras is now reasonable - one sees some marvellous photos...
These wouldn't deter any self-respecting ladybird on grounds of size! On the other hand, coccinellids can be picky on the species of aphid that they eat....
This should interest all LNHS members - a chance to study a 'brownfield' site. It is important to further assess this site for all flora/fauna - it could well...

I've just posted a photo of the subject insect. Does anyone know why the male develops those Kirk Douglas thighs ? (Maybe I should say Brad Pitt these days)....
