I've uploaded a couple of photos to the queries area of a gall I found on oak in Perivale Wood last Saturday. Looking at the FSC guide to galls (and checking...
Hello again, David, Apologies for the delayed response - I've been away from my computer. In my case we're talking beetles and most of these are fairly ...
Hello all, You may be aware that the Society no longer has a Recorder for true bugs, Heteroptera. A couple of years ago I volunteered to *keep records*, i.e....
Thanks Paul, I'll bear you in mind! Found a two spot scampering around the edge of the bath a couple of days ago, NO it didn't take the plunge, I released it...

Good morning David. No idea! I think it's immature (although some bugs have incomplete wings anyway). I'll think on. Cheers, Paul ... From: "David Howdon"...
I think it may be a Capsid Bug, Daraeocoris ruber. I will post a photo I have of this one, I find them on my car park posts. They are predatory, as I recall....

I've uploaded a picture (called what_ladybird.jpg) to the photos area. The following URL should work http://makeashorterlink.com/?I1EA2410B but if it does not...
Well, David ...... If it is an 18-spot, it's unusual but I don't see what else it can be! I can count 16, possibly 18 spots but the pattern around the...
It was found in my light trap on the morning of 1st May. I'm not aware of any pine trees in the immediate vicinity (although I'm not sure what all my...
Yes, that's a better view David: it's Calvia quattuordecimguttata, cream-streaked ladybird. You can let it go now! Best wishes, Paul ... From: "David Howdon"...
Thanks Paul. I've now released it. I've updated the name of the picture in the photos area. I've also uploaded another picture to the photos are of what I...
Yes, I would think Propylea quattuordecimpunctata. A little unusual (for London specimens) in having the spots fairly distinct and not too rectilinear. Most...

Dear David, The larva is a 'leatherjacket' - click beetle, Elateridae - certainly wouldn't want to hazard a guess on species: although, purely on statistical ...
Thanks Mick and Paul for responses. Is this then a spider egg sac or is it a sac it has created for some other purpose? Is it possible to identify the species...
