I have started a photo album for these two field trips and have uploaded a few photos (not all mine). You can find them in the 'Files' section. Wimbledon was...
File started for field trip photos from yesterday, please add any of your best and most interesting photos - I am sure there will be some good ones, sunshine...
The curse of public transport hit us again yesterday, as the Metropolitan line was closed going to Watford. A shame, because it was a beautiful day and...
Hi everyone, Just a warning that there is a rail replacement bus service running to Bookham station on Saturday so journey times will be longer. Thanks, Sarah....
A very big turnout at Bookham yesterday, despite the train problems. We know that members will undertake any hardship for closeup views of Neil Anderson. ...
Fellow workers, you may not be aware that Emma Hinton (Newsletter Editor) and Marc Carlton (Website Manager) are both members of this message board, and ...
Would appreciate confirmation (or contradiction) of this http://freespace.virgin.net/david.howdon/beetle_web.jpg as a larval stage of Devil's Coach-horse...
With apologies for the poor quality of the photo. http://freespace.virgin.net/david.howdon/ladybirds_web.jpg On 26th May at Horsenden Farm (TQ18 - Middlesex) I...
As far as I know, you can't do these for sure from single photos. I have many photos of similar larvae, in places where the adults are found. I'd be interested...
As many of you will no doubt know 11th August is this year's national moth night (and day) - http://www.nationalmothnight.info/ As last year I will be running...
Wouldn't like to swear on what they all are but at least some of them are Harmonia axyridis, the 'harlequin' ladybird - the leftmost and rightmost ones, for...
A week ago on Sunday whilst doing my regular butterfly transect on Horsenden Hill (TQ18 - Middx VC21) I came across a seven spot lady bird on the corpse (or...
Thanks Paul. Must admit I've not noticed this emergence phenomenon before (but I've probably just been unobservant). Another ladybird query will follow...
Hello, Here is a link to a caterpillar that I think is a Small Tortoiseshell. Please could someone confirm my ID. It was on Mallow, I think, but certainly lots...
Hello, I have created a folder and put in some pictures from Saturdays excellent Bookham Field Studies day. Please upload any photos you may have taken. Thanks...
Dear All, I would implore everyone to access the "11.8.07 Bookham Field Study Day" photo-file Sarah refers to in her email as soon as they can. All the...
Dear All, Gavin's suggestion about making photos available to a wider audience via the website is a very timely one as I am about to embark on some work...
The beauty about putting photos up on the E&E message board is that it is very quick and easy, is informal, and is just for the 'select' band who have signed...

Indeed, excellent photos. No urgency yet but can I point out that the 'files' folder is already 29% full .... after a while we shall have to take out some of...
May well have been eating it David. C7p and other ladybirds are pretty generalist predators (although, they usually find it easiest to eat find aphids) so I...
Hi, I have some pictures of three different types of Shieldbugs we saw on the Beddington trip today and I'd like some help with their ID. Firstly, I think this...
... This one is Rhopalus subrufus, the commonest of the Rhopalid bugs, found on several food-plants. It is hairy, as are most of the Rhopalids. M [Non-text...
... I think that is right. The nymphs of these are distinctively striped black and pale green, apart from the abdomen, which is green. M. [Non-text portions of...
Hi, Thanks for the ID. Rhopalus subrufus is not in my Shieldbug book, is that because it is not a true Shieldbug? However I did find it in the Chinnery photo...
Dear Sarah I would urge caution in trying to identify invertebrates to species level using Chinery - it is the result of many a bad misidentification. ...
... There are several families of bugs which are loosely referred to as 'Shieldbugs', but they differ in several respects. Rhopalid bugs, sometimes called the...
Hopefully some will still be there next weekend. If they are, I will 'pot' some and find the relevent person to send them to. I'm definitely going to buy the...
Agreed. The other point is that the Chinery books are fauna of Europe - so as well as being incomplete, they also contain species not found in UK! But they are...
