Numbers expressed as X are recorded from 125W MV Skinner Trap...
No wood ants in Perivale (or if they are there no one has recorded them). I'll put it down as seven spot.

At the LNHS / Ruislip NHS meeting today a Harlequin ladybird was found by Colin Bowlt. It was on Poor's Field, Ruislip, London Borough of Hillingdon. This is...
Dear All, please note that this trip is billed a Botany trip but there will be plenty of general interest. As well as the billed nature reserve, we will also...
Several ladybirds. Any help as to ID would be appreciated

Thanks Paul. Very helpful as always. Now I've looked at a few images on the web I think (5) probably is some sort of fungus beetle but I'll not attempt to...
I'm not sure that anyone will be rash enough to identify the Tetragnatha species by the photo. Colouration and pattern is quite variable, and photos can play...
Your last image (...lady4jpg), although superficially quite similar to the fairly common Endomychus coccineus ('False Ladybird'), isn't that species, which has...
Just a reminder that those of you interested in learning how to find, recognise and count Purple Hairstreaks at the time of day when it is easiest can join me...
Thanks I will do that. Although I suspect the record would never be accepted from this photo.
The photo was sort of accidental - it was on the side of a...
I defer to Colin on the obscure beetle. Re ladybird books: The Richmond Naturalist book, reprinted without revision, is not fully up-to-date but contains a lot...
Dear Paul, This is one of the best on-line resources for ladybirds that I have found, with some useful links: http://www.coccinellidae.cl/sitios.php. I can't ...

I plan to be there. I hope others will be too. I have just seen a PH in my local park for the first time this week. It was drinking from a concrete pond. There...
I’ve highlighted two sections of the original message. When will the new Majerus come out, and how much (Approx) cost? And – a revised NN, with a section...
Presumably this

is another H axyridis?

There are lots of purple hairstreaks around this year in Epping Forest. Seems to be a good year for them. Mick - which is your local park and have you spoken...
Yes. These reduced spot (or spotless) ones occur mainly in the summer. Presumably they absorb heat less well than the darker ones. ... From: "David Howdon"...
In case it's of interest, just come across this record on <http://editthis.info/londonbirders/LatestNews> http://editthis.info/londonbirders/LatestNews July...

SWFs have also been seen in the past few days at Highgate Wood and Stanmore Country Park (information posted on the website of the Herts & Middx branch of...
Interesting. IS it known what the mechanism is that leads to there being more spotless ones in summer. Is it heat on the larval stages? Or is it that the...
Don't know! I expect it's something as you suggest; I don't know of other ladybird species in which the pattern is subject to environmental as well as genetic...
