Dear Paul, This evening 3 newly emerged Harlequin adults hanging out to dry despite freezing cold weather, heavy driving rain and near gale-force gusts of...

Dear Paul, Another (moving) Orange Ladybird on High Street Collier's Wood this morning (8:50) plus five adult Harlequins and another one which had been caught...

I suppose that the recent relatively mild weather is keeping them going but they must be eating? Not many ladybirds in Yorkshire at the moment but there is...
Dear Paul, I can only base my observations on our gardens and local high street. Something of a mixture where the trees are concerned - some without any leaves...

Dear Paul, Adult ladybirds recorded today during a walk through Wandle Park and a short section of the Wandle (between High Street Collier's Wood and Merantun...

Thanks, David. Will they ever 'hibernate'? I've not heard of any masses of orange ladybirds on the continent. One feeling is that although H16g is a regular...
Intriguing to hear of Palomena prasina in its summer colours during December! I sometimes wonder how obligatory these colour changes are and/or what is the...
Dear Paul, I have also photographed Water Ladybird displaying incorrect colours at the wrong time of year. As for the Orange Ladybirds utilising high air ...

I suspect, David, that these things are not clear-cut; but how many people go threshing about amongst the rushes in mid-winter? Volunteers to investigate this...
We often had a fox in residence in the NHM Wildlife Garden on the corner of Cromwell Road, including one with a couple of cubs. One evening they ate through...
In my talk earlier in the year about involving non-entomologists in biological recording, I mentioned that I saw very few earwigs (Forficula auricularia)...
Not a particularly scientific observation but I seem to recall that when looking at tree trunks and fence posts for moths whilst "dusking" earwigs seems...
Some empty eggs discovered whilst searching (unsuccessfully) for the eggs of White Letter Hair Streak (Satyrium w-album) on the leaves of Elm earlier in the...
Apologies for cross-posting. We are undoubtedly all fed up with shopping at the moment but there may be something of interest in your local supermarket - the...
Not everyone will realise that Keir Mottram was the first to record a C. lunata in 2001 ... or to know what the animal looks like. I've uploaded a photo in...
Dear All, There is an article in today's Independent about Harlequin Ladybirds. David ... From: "paul_mabbott" <paulmabbott@...> To:...

Dear Paul, 34 Orange Ladybirds (possibly including occasional Cream-spot - I didn't want to disturb them), one 2-spot, one Harlequin and two (active) 10-spot...

Interesting to know where all the haxy have gone - I'm willing to bet they're not dead. Despite the large numbers in places this winter, there have been no...
You've probably all heard about this and received a mass of virtual paperwork from Catherine Schmitt. The proposals are to cut a large proportion of Centre...

Hello All, I've uploaded a Word file with the LNHS programme for 2006. LNHS members will get their printed copy in a few weeks, but I know I always like to...
I am sure that this will be an easy question to some of you on this group, so perhaps you can help me. When I've been turning over logs recently (and carefully...
If my previous post about fly larvae doesn't interest, perhaps the coleopterists on the group may be able to hazard the identification of the click beetle...
Keith Lewis wrote in the December Bulletin of AES about a 1964 record of Carabus granulatus from the banks of the Crane - possibly on Crane island (Jon Cooter...
We have a repeat LNHS trip to Crane Park Island on Saturday 29th April - it is an excellent and distinctive nature reserve. Ian McKinnon is the volunteer...
Good stuff. All of the Carabus species are fond of thick vegetation (= moisture) in SE England - some in woods (esp. violaceus), some in grassland (esp. ...
Yes, I agree, Keir, that there should be an LNHS e-group with a broader span. When we proposed the E&E group to Council we were told that we *must* confines...
In general I would agree with all of that, Mick but a couple of qualifications. Of course but, increasingly, people will have internet access and actually ...
