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...
Les Wilson has sent me pictures of several interesting beetles this year - one of them is particularly impressive: http://tinyurl.com/2oflxg A cerambycid,...
The AES Exhibition is earlier than usual this year. Saturday 22nd September 2007 Kempton Park Racecourse: 11am - 4:30pm The exhibition is the ideal place to...
For some reason the Entomology and Ecology Reading Circle leaflet was not sent out with the recent newsletter. It can be found in the folder called "Reading...
I've started doing my annual prune of all the woody climbers in my garden, and I've found (so far) 4 or 5 Harmonia axyroides ladybirds, all of them under or in...
That reminds me that I haven't sent out my annual appeal for records! I am hoping to do a report on the ladybird situation this year so shall appreciate any...
Dear Paul, Have you read my report of the AGM in the December Newsletter where I ask for records for you? Catherine In message <fkg8rm+65g6@eGroups.com>,...
The short answer is, 'No'! I haven't even opened the Newsletter (nor LN) but I have tucked them into my bag for my yuletide peregrinations .... Thanks, Paul ...
When I first took over responsibility for the LNHS website work over a year ago I took part in some email correspondence about the possibility of putting a...
Marc, I think there are two groups of people you are aiming at. 1) People with a small number of casual observations. For them a form that can be completed on...
Marc, David and others A simple recording form, may, be useful for those who are not already part of an established recording scheme. The irony however, is...
Happy New Year all. Yes, records in any form are always welcome .... My preferred format is an Excel worksheet - is it possible to provide one of these as an...
To LNHS recorders I have recorded butterflies, moths and other insects from my bottom-right-hand-corner of London territory for over 30 years, but (to my shame...
As a national organiser of a recording scheme (spiders) I am strongly in favour of all records being directed to national recording schemes, rather than to...
