Hi Everyone After the success of Libor Dvorak's Wasp Trapping project last summer (Libor will be writing an article in the BWARS Newsletter about the results),...
Hi Stuart I, like many other micro-lepidopterists rear through lots of insects through from Rosehips every year. I tend only to record the picture winged flies...
Hi Stuart, Do you have any information on what they mean by 'disturbed' and 'undisturbed' sites? Disturbed by what? How disturbed? And what additional...
Hi Adam "Disturbed" and "Undisturbed" are really terms used in the ALARM project (from where these protocols originate). There is really no absolute need to...
... Not necessarily recording schemes, but there is interest among diverse entomologists in who feeds on what, and rearing records are always valuable. Once...
Hello Lots of Formica rufa activity this week in the SE (V17) at Brentmoor Heath Nature Reserve (SU 93 61). Many collecting seeds of Calluna vulgaris. Scotty...

Hi Guys I think you may be missing the point of my original email a little! What I proposed is part of an well developed, pan European project, led by INRA in...
Hi Stuart, Sorry we got a bit off-track - I couldn't initially download your file because my computer has had problems recently. Sounds like an interesting...
Hi Stuart This sounds a nifty little project. I'm happy to collect from a few sites, I was just wondering if there were any packaging hints for the rosehips....
Hi Matt I was going to pack mine in some bubble wrap (tons laying around the supermarkets) and then stick them in a ziplock bag. This is how I usually mail...
Matt I am sure that will be ok Matt. S ____________________________________________________________________________________ Don't pick lemons. See all the new...
Spotted a queen B.terrestris this afternoon, she was just about to fly off as I noticed her, so am not sure if she was just investigating, or coming out of,a...
Hi All, I'll be taking part in this project. Sounds an interesting one. I've had an initial look around up here in North Staffs and although there are a number...
A friend preparing a salad found a chilled out bee (?) which is thought to have come from some Spanish celery. Maybe a ground nesting species? (The bee, not...
Hi Alan Well... it's a Nomada bee of some sort. Notoriously difficult to do.... and the Spanish fauna is pretty huge. Unlikely really to get beyond that I...
This reminds me of that other Hymenopteran Salad that featured a while back - a large ant found in a salad of Med origin. For those who were interested in the...
Hi all, Just discovered a wasp/hornet nest in a large tree that came down in the recent storms. The cell sizes are: 1cm width, 3.5cm deep. The size seems quite...
Hi Alan Certainly sounds like a hornets nest. Interesting records this far north (once one gets north of Derby Hornets become distinctly scarce) The outside...
Thanks Stuart, I've posted a couple of images in my folder. It looks beige to me! Some info about the nest: Date found: 06/02/2007 Location: Centre of...
Hello Alan, Regarding recording details for BWARS, I am currently putting together a recording page for the BWARS website and this will include the BRC list as...

Hi everybody, Just enough sunshine this afternoon in Belgium to trigger a few emergences of wild bees in a sand quarry in Belgium (Braine-l'Alleud). Here's a...
Hallo Stuart I am very interested to see your report of Bombus terrestris workers in the Salisbury area for several weeks. I wonder how widespread winter...
Hi all Just to compare with the South Pennines (near (Halifax), I spotted my first Bombus terrestris queen this morning and this is early ! Paul Talbot ...
