I'm interested in getting a small digital camera suitable for natural history photography, especially close- ups of insects. There used to be a camera commonly...
Some of us are replying on the other group. Don't confuse us Mark! Still, people on this forum should have some insights ... although it's rumoured that David...
Hello, all. Promise this is my last ladybird mail of the year - probably my last mail since I'll be off a roamin' shortly. I want to write up a few reports...
Hello Paul and all, We went to Old Park Wood, Harefield TQ 047 914 at the weekend with the LNHS winter spider hunt. A very nice location, and we had a good...
Don't know where this rumour started - I normally walk or use public transport! I couldn't offer any authoritative advice about a system which I have never...

Just joking, David. But I'm amazed by the amount of equipment that some photographers carry around ... don't think I'd make it to the tube .... ... public...
... I bet Slimbridge was very good. Saturday 16th was a lovely day in London after a grey start, so we had a good day in Bushy Park. There was plenty of beetle...

I'm currently a part-time student at Birkbeck and I am doing a small project on bumblebee activity in winter. This is a well-observed phenomenon in the London...

On this theme … I had a queen Wasp in my kitchen on 24th December, a Lacewing fly in my conservatory, about 10th January, and a Bombus (probably) lucorum...
Can anyone confirm the identity of this shield bug for me. My suggested ID is indicated on http://freespace.virgin.net/david.howdon/temp_key.html

I think you've got it right David, but it hasn't developed it's full coloration, which is much darker in my experience. The shoulder shape is not quite clear...

I continue to be interested in winter activity of bumblebees (I am doing a project about it at Birkbeck). As there seems to be a cold spell coming along (It...
A beetle which I found last night in Perivale Wood (TQ 18 - Middx [VC21]) on a dead elm trunk which had been painted with 'sugar' (whether that has anything...
Yes, David, one of the Carabidae looking like an Agonum sp. *but* it's getting rather late and I'm still under the weather! Others may have ideas, otherwise...

Thanks for these comments I will try to look at these features myself
and see what I think and then get some more photos - although it is now
