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, This email message is a notification to let you know that a file has been uploaded to the Files area of the London-nhs-invertebrates group. File...

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 ...
Hi everyone, Just thought that I would add my two pennies worth. I think that if the society is to attract new and younger members it is going to have to drag...
So sorry to hear about Ian. This would account for my not receiving an important report! Does anyone have a temporary address that I could write to? *NOT* to...
Hi everyone, Further to David's email, I believe that the website is the best way to attract more members, and at the moment it does leave a lot to be desired....
I see the weaknesses in the website, Sarah, although I don't think that there is need for a major and expensive overall rehash. I see three problems, two of...
On a Herts & Middx Butterfly Conservation field meeting to look for hairstreak ova today (Sunday 5th Feb), I was surprised to encounter an example of the...
Did the council explain its reasoning for insisting that the group confine itself to E&E business? It would seem that this would only be a sensible thing on...
That was a while ago. I think (hope) the attitude will be different now. Although many of our members are technically switched on, there are a lot who still...
LNHS now owns have a battery powered 'Heath' portable moth trap. It uses a 15w actinic tube and can be left out all night. It is not as bright as a MV trap, so...
An odd request: LNHS have some old records on a tape cassette. We need to find a means of reading these, so are looking for a machine with a 3M model MC3000 or...
Hello, David. The beetle certainly looks chrysomelid but not enough detail for me to give a guess. To the best of my knowledge, gall-formers are predominantly...
Another difficulty for the E&E section is that most speakers would now expect to give powerpoint presentations; but the LNHS doesn't have a projector so has to...
