Getting the right balance between the needs of our society for road-based transport, and the effects of the Assembly’s road network on our wildlife is a complex and often controversial issue. The Plan itself is designed to both challenge and inspire those who work with the Directorate on the National Assembly’s road network – and, as importantly, to challenge those of us who use the network to think more about the wildlife there. -

A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods
insects Review A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods in Agroecosystems Kenneth W. McCravy Department of Biological Sciences, Western Illinois University, 1 University Circle, Macomb, IL 61455, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-309-298-2160 Received: 12 September 2018; Accepted: 19 November 2018; Published: 23 November 2018 Abstract: Beneficial arthropods provide many important ecosystem services. In agroecosystems, pollination and control of crop pests provide benefits worth billions of dollars annually. Effective sampling and monitoring of these beneficial arthropods is essential for ensuring their short- and long-term viability and effectiveness. There are numerous methods available for sampling beneficial arthropods in a variety of habitats, and these methods can vary in efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper I review active and passive sampling methods for non-Apis bees and arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests, including methods for sampling flying insects, arthropods on vegetation and in soil and litter environments, and estimation of predation and parasitism rates. Sample sizes, lethal sampling, and the potential usefulness of bycatch are also discussed. Keywords: sampling methodology; bee monitoring; beneficial arthropods; natural enemy monitoring; vane traps; Malaise traps; bowl traps; pitfall traps; insect netting; epigeic arthropod sampling 1. Introduction To sustainably use the Earth’s resources for our benefit, it is essential that we understand the ecology of human-altered systems and the organisms that inhabit them. Agroecosystems include agricultural activities plus living and nonliving components that interact with these activities in a variety of ways. Beneficial arthropods, such as pollinators of crops and natural enemies of arthropod pests and weeds, play important roles in the economic and ecological success of agroecosystems. -

Shropshire Entomology – April 2011 (No.3) A bi-annual newsletter focussing upon the study of insects and other invertebrates in the county of Shropshire (V.C. 40) April 2010 (Vol. 3) Editor: Pete Boardman [email protected] ~ Welcome ~ Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Shropshire Entomology newsletter. By the time you receive this the recording season should be under way and hopefully those cold and miserable winter days will be but a mere memory. Also underway will be the Invertebrate challenge programme of training days, a three year project funded by The Heritage Lottery Fund and The Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, which will be running around 100 events in total concentrating on the identification of some of Shropshire’s most under-recorded and under-studied invertebrates. It will also enable Shropshire Entomology to continue for the next three years, as well as enable my involvement with the SEDN as manager of the invertebrate database. Many thanks once more to everyone who has contributed to this edition. It can only function as a ‘newsletter’ if people contribute articles of news and views, so please do consider submitting articles that relate to entomology in Shropshire or entomology in general. The deadline for submission of content for Vol. 4 is Friday 16th September 2011. Please feel free to pass this newsletter on to anyone you feel might be interested in it. Note – past newsletters will soon be able to be downloaded as PDF’s from www.invertebrate-challenge.org.uk. ~ Contents ~ The Keeled Skimmer Orthetrum coerulescens -

Synanthedon culiciformis (Linnaeus, 1758) shows a circumpolar distribution and is recorded from most parts of the northern Palaearctic region and from North America. Its known sister species, Synanthedon talischensis (Battel, 1906), however, is endemic to the Hyrcanian fauna and is found only in Talish south of the Caspian Sea. Here, another species, Synanthedon pamphyla sp. n., closely allied to S. culiciformis is described from southern Turkey. It is clearly separated from the known species by exter- nal characters, morphology of genitalia and bionomics. Further, sequences of two mitochondrial DNA regions of S. culiciformis and S. pamphyla sp. n. are analysed and compared to homologous sequences of the 'outgroup' species Synanthedon spheciformis ([Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775). This analysis sug- gests an isolation of S. culiciformis and S. pamphyla sp. n. for at least 300 000 years and implies that the latter species can be regarded as a Pleistocene relict. Zusammenfassung. Synanthedon culiciformis (Linnaeus, 1758) ist eine circumpolar verbreitete Art, die in der gesamten nördlichen Palaearktis und in Nordamerika vorkommt. Ihre einzige bisher bekannte Schwesterart, Synanthedon talischensis (Barrel, 1906), ist dagegen ein Endemit der hyrcanischen Fauna und ist nur aus Talish südlich des Kaspischen Meeres bekannt.

MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It Is with Great Sadness That We Must Report the Death of Bull Budd in Autumn 2020
Wimbledon and Putney Commons ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It is with great sadness that we must report the death of Bull Budd in autumn 2020. Bill was our much respected, dragonfly and damselfly recorder and a member of the Wildlife and Conservation Forum. As well as recording on the Commons, Bill also worked as a volunteer at the London Natural History Museum for many years and was the Surrey Vice County Dragonfly Recorder. Bill supported our BioBlitz activities and, with others from the Forum, led dedicated walks raising public awareness of the dragonfly and damselfly populations on the Commons. In September 2020 in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the recording and conservation of Odonata, a newly identified dragonfly species found in the Bornean rainforest* was named Megalogomphus buddi. His contributions will be very much missed. * For further information see: https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/dragonfly-named-after-bds-county-dragonfly-recorder-bill-budd/ Dow, R.A. and Price, B.W.

Yellow-Legged Clearwing (Synanthedon Vespiformis) – Linnaeus
Cornwall Moth Group Yellow-legged Clearwing (Synanthedon vespiformis) – Linnaeus. With the wider use and availability of pheromone lures to attract the males of species, the understanding of the distribution and abundance of this interesting family of moths has greatly increased in recent years. Previously, lepidopterists were restricted to looking for signs of the larval presence rather than observing the adult stage, primarily because most moths of this family are fast fliers and therefore difficult to detect. They do not come to a mercury vapour moth trap, being day flying, and could also be confused with other orders of insect. The Yellow-legged Clearwing is a Notable B species. It occurs in between 31 and 100 10Km squares. All but one of the Cornish SESIIDAE are classified as Nb, the exception being the Lunar Hornet Moth (Sesia bembeciformis). It is personally believed that this classification will be updated in the ensuing years due to our increased understanding of its distribution. The Yellow-legged Clearwing, although an indigenous species, could loosely be described as invasive of a particular altered habitat. This is simply because the species is often found where oaks and other trees such as Birch and Wych Elm have been felled within the previous three years. The moth lays its eggs on recently cut stumps or in wounds and calluses on the trunk. The eggs are probably also laid between the bark where often the The above photograph illustrates the site where the Yellow- legged Clearwing was observed. Note the stacked oak larva may be found feeding branches and the pheromone lure on its stick in the centre during August and through to the of the photograph. -
