Many thanks to the 41 members who completed the questionnaire, the results of which are summarised below. The questions were compiled by Martin Harvey, Martin Albertini of BIG and Laura Fennell of BMERC. With hindsight some of the questions could have been made clearer and some of the answers were rather hard to analyse. However, the responses have been interesting and useful. Which invertebrate groups do you feel confident about identifying? Unsurprisingly butterflies and moths were the clear front-runners, but for many other groups members are happy identifying at least some species. There was also an “Other invertebrates” category that included woodlice, millipedes and centipedes, aquatic invertebrates, nocturnal parasitic Hymenoptera, lacewings and rotifers. Which invertebrate groups do you record in Buckinghamshire? ~ 2 ~ BIG News Number 22 Editor: Peter Hall, Melanthia, Chiltern Rd., Ballinger Common, Bucks HP16 9LH e-mail [email protected] Butterflies and moths are again the clear winners, but a wide range of other groups get recorded to a lesser extent. This question also asked which groups people took photos of and/or kept voucher specimens (but it is not clear from our question how many of these represent sightings that are photographed but not made into biological records): Looking at these first two questions, there is some drop from the number of people who can identify the various groups to the number that record them: ~ 3 ~ BIG News Number 22 Editor: Peter Hall, Melanthia, Chiltern Rd., Ballinger Common, Bucks HP16 9LH e-mail [email protected] How do you store your records? Most people (almost 70%) use a notebook but nearly 60% use a computer database and nearly 40% use a spreadsheet (you could tick more than one box here and some use all three). Of the people using databases MapMate is the most widely used, but Recorder and Levana were also mentioned by more than one person. What happens to your records? ~ 4 ~ BIG News Number 22 Editor: Peter Hall, Melanthia, Chiltern Rd., Ballinger Common, Bucks HP16 9LH e-mail [email protected] This question is complicated by the fact that many people send their records to more than one place, but it is clear that BMERC is playing an important role in collecting records for groups that have no county recording scheme and in many cases receiving records that are not otherwise being passed on to national recording schemes. We had hoped to get an idea of how many records are being made that are not passed on to any recording scheme but our questionnaire design didn’t really achieve that. However, it is encouraging to see that the total number of people passing on records for each group is close to the total number of people who record that group, Would any of the following help you record more, or encourage you to start? Targeted surveys are clearly an attractive idea for members of BIG and that’s certainly something we can try to develop in the future – if anyone has any ideas or would like to take on a targeted survey please do get in touch. With BMERC’s help, we have occasionally run identification training courses in the past and that is also something we can try to do again. As for field meetings, we already do quite a lot of those, so if you are one of the people who said that these would help you record more please do come along to as many field meetings as you wish! As ever, ideas for future field meetings and offers to lead them are welcome. Among the “other comments” for this question, a large proportion of respondents said that the main thing that constrains their recording activity is simply lack of time. I’m not sure BIG can do much to remove that constraint, but it is good to know that recording invertebrates is something people would like to do more of if they could! ~ 5 ~ BIG News Number 22 Editor: Peter Hall, Melanthia, Chiltern Rd., Ballinger Common, Bucks HP16 9LH e-mail [email protected] Highlights of the season: Loosley Row Nigel Partridge The number of moth species found in my garden broke through the 500 mark this year, including the 34 new additions listed below.

(GELECHIIDAE, LEPIDOP- TERA) IN LITHUANIA Henrikas OSTRAUSKAS Lithuanian State Plant Protection Service, Pelesos 85, 2014 Vilnius, Lithuania Abstract. During the 19972000 investigations the quarantine pest Phthorimaea operculella was not registered in Lithuania. During the studies undertaken in 19982000 Anarsia lineatella was caught in four new localities of two new districts Utena and Panevëþys. Moths belonging to 94 species from 17 families were caught with pheromone traps for P. operculella and A. lineatella, with species rare for Lithuania among them (Calybites phasianipennella, Phyllonorycter corylifoliella, Coleophora ibipennella, Scrobipalpa acuminatella, Scrobipalpa artemisiella, Ypsolopha horridella, Synanthedon myopaeformis, Pammene spiniana, Cydia lunulana, Cydia orobana, Mesapamea secalella, Hypena rostralis). As a result of the above studies the names of moths most frequently caught with A. lineatella and P. operculella pheromone traps have been elucidated. Also some new localities for the other nine moth species in Lithuania have been additionally distinguished and adduced in the present study.

  • How Do Lepidopteran Seasonal Guilds Differ on Some Oaks (Quercus Spp.) – a Case Study
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 55, 2009 (12): 578–590 How do lepidopteran seasonal guilds differ on some oaks (Quercus spp.) – A case study † M. Turčáni1, J. Patočka1 , M. Kulfan2 1 Faculty of Forestry and Wood Sciences, Czech University of Life Sciences in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic 2Department of Zoology, Comenius University, Mlynská dolina, Bratislava, Slovakia ABSTRACT: The differences between oak lepidopteran communities were studied in Slovakia in 1993 and 1994. Sampling was undertaken between April and October on 3 oak species (Quercus robur, Q. petraea, Q. rubra). Biologi- cal traits of larvae were examined in order to explain differences in seasonal guilds among oaks. Communities varied in structure and abundance. Species richness in four seasonal guilds (flush, late spring, summer and autumn feeders) had a similar pattern on each of the studied oak species. The guild of flush feeders had the richest species assemblage, followed by the late spring feeder guild and both guilds were significantly richer than the summer feeder guild and autumn feeder guild. Keywords: lepidopteran larvae communities; Slovakia; oaks; seasonal guilds Oaks (Quercus spp.) are represented in Slovakia dant defoliators: Lymantria dispar, Operophtera (Central Europe) by eight native and one introduced brumata, Erannis defoliaria, Tortrix viridana, Aleim- species; they are distributed in the warmest part ma loeflingiana, Archips xylosteana and several of the country from an altitude of about 100 m up others.

  • Biological Surveys at Hunsbury Hill Country Park 2018
    FRIENDS OF WEST HUNSBURY PARKS BIOLOGICAL SURVEYS AT HUNSBURY HILL COUNTRY PARK 2018 Ryan Clark Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre April 2019 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre Introduction Biological records tell us which species are present on sites and are essential in informing the conservation and management of wildlife. In 2018, the Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre ran a number of events to encourage biological recording at Hunsbury Hill Fort as part of the Friends of West Hunsbury Park’s project, which is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Hunsbury Hill Country Park is designated as a Local Wildlife Site (LWS). There are approximately 700 Local Wildlife Sites in Northamptonshire. Local Wildlife Sites create a network of areas, which are important as refuges for wildlife or wildlife corridors. Hunsbury Hill Country Park was designated as a LWS in 1992 for its woodland flora and the variety of habitats that the site possesses. The site also has a Local Geological Site (LGS) which highlights the importance of this site for its geology as well as biodiversity. This will be surveyed by the local geological group in due course. Hunsbury Hill Country Park Local Wildlife Site Boundary 1 Northamptonshire Biodiversity Records Centre (NBRC) supports the recording, curation and sharing of quality verified environmental information for sound decision-making. We hold nearly a million biological records covering a variety of different species groups. Before the start of this project, we looked to see which species had been recorded at the site. We were surprised to find that the only records we have for the site have come from Local Wildlife Site Surveys, which assess the quality of the site and focus on vascular plants, with some casual observations of other species noted too.

For this reason in the years 2008–2010 a study was initiated on the phenology of 8 dominant Pimplinae species in apple orchards and on their edges, which included shrubberies and roadside avenues of trees and shrubs. Slightly higher numbers of Pimplinae were recorded in orchards compared to their edges. At strong correlation was observed between the counts of Pimplinae in both habitats. The preference of selec- tion of orchards by Pimplinae was observed in the autumn period, while no such preference was found in the spring or summer months. Analyses showed that flowering plants in the orchard edges such asTilia cordata, Symphoricarpos albus, Cirsium arvense and Galium aparine may have attracted Pimplinae to the orchards.

  • On the Fauna of Casebearers from the Centre of the European Part of Russia (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) by V a S S Il Y V
    Atalanta (Juli 2004) 35(1/2): 133-140, Wurzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 On the fauna of casebearers from the centre of the European part of Russia (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) by V a s s il y V. A n ik in & Ir in a V. S h m yto v a received 30.1.2004 Abstract: 47 species of the casebearers (Lepidoptera, Coleophoridae) are recorded from the centre of the European part of Russia. The first investigation in the Lepidoptera from the centre of the European part of Russia was made about 200 years ago. Inspite of it the fauna of Coleophoridae of this territory still has been almost completely unknown until present time. In the course of our study, collections were made from 1984 to 1999 in some parts of Kaluga, Smolensk, Oryel provinces (I. V. Shmytova leg.) and Tula province (L. V. Bolshakov, C. A. Rjabov, A. F. Lakomov leg.). This territory is mainly composed of forest as well as forest-steppe zones (fig. 1). Kaluga, Smolensk and some regions of Tula provinces are typical for the occurence of coniferous (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), broad-leaved (Quercus robur L., Ulmus L, Tilia cordata Mill., Fraxinus excel­ sior L.) and small-leaved forests (Betula L., Populus tremula L., Alnus Mill., Salix L.). Pines (Pinus sylvestris L.) are spread here on the sandy lands. The elements of steppe flora are met mainly in Tula and Oryel provinces, but along the valleys of rivers they penetrate to the north and north-west. It consists of species of Festuca L., Koeleria Pers., Stipa L., Phleum L., Flelictitrichon Bess., Poa L., Ranunculus L, Galium L., Anem­ one L., Salvia L.

Prior © 2020 1 Sun Rising NBG Moth Surveys 2020 Introduction After the atrocious weather experienced going back to the last couple of months of 2019 it seems miraculous that six visits were made to Sun Rising during 2020. Throw in a frustrating global virus and it is even more so! Most were arranged at very short notice to take advantage of whatever decent weather was on offer. There were a couple of breezy nights, but they were mild enough to make them worthwhile and all were productive with additions of new species to further lengthen the site list. Visit 1 – 20th May, 2020 The weather finally relented towards the end of May and after all that had gone on earlier in the year it was decided that Martin Kennard and I should use this as a “test” night to see if we could carry on moth recording safely. Neither of us thought there should be any problem with that as by the very nature of moth recording we are widely separated.
