Hi Peter, Thanks very much for your help - I was hoping you'd been involved in the Walthamstow record and could provide the detail. Mission accomplished, I...
Dear Keir Pity about no new record for Xylocopa. Ceratina cyanea at Walthamstow is very unlikely (but not entirely impossible). It likes drought/nutrient ...
A friend sent me some photos of a curiosity. The photos are of a Silver-spotted Skipper taken in the Kent Downs, and appear to show a fungi (a proper...

hello, i've just posted a photo of a pink grasshopper i happened across on a cornish coastal walk last week, in the queries section of the photos folder. i...

Hi all, If anyone can confirm that the two photos (ich1 & ich2, two views of the same thing, scale bar is in centimetres/millimetres I'm told) that I've just...
The easy test is : if it looks like an Ichneumon (it does) and if it has more than 15 segments in the antennae (you can't tell from the photo). As you suggest,...
