Best of luck for the future. iv Foreword In existence for more than half a century Newcastle West Tidy Towns began its history by enhancing the town’s appearance with flower beds and baskets and by working to create a litter free environment. As the world in general became more aware of the need to protect and develop biodiversity and sustainability Tidy Towns has expanded its ethos and activities. We actively work to ensure the protection and develop more biodiverse habitats; to engage with and educate all ages on the importance of these matters; and to work with the community in the achievement of our goals. Knowledge about our natural environment and its biodiversity is essential. So we are blessed to have the expertise of Geoff Hunt, Biodiversity Consultant on our doorstep to guide us. Geoff generously shares his wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm through Biodiversity Reports and guided visits. The arrival of COVID-19 afforded Geoff more opportunities to explore the habitats in the 5km surrounds of the town and to produce his updated Newcastle West Biodiversity Study with new discoveries of flora and fauna. The Castle Demesne, the parkland just off the town Square provides a home for a wide variety of flora and fauna and is a valuable educational tool. The arrival of Red Squirrels in the Demesne in late 2020 is indicative of just how people can be enthused about biodiversity and aware of the need to protect our natural environment. Still biodiversity and sustainability are relevant to everyone’s garden and neighbourhood and studies such as this one are of assistance to all. A welcome addition to the latest study is the inclusion of biological names in both English and Irish. We are delighted to share this report as a valuable educational tool for individuals, families and community groups. Enjoy. Bain sult as an méid atá le rá ag Geoff sa tuairisc seo.

  • Harper's Island Wetlands Butterflies & Moths (2020)
    Introduction Harper’s Island Wetlands (HIW) nature reserve, situated close to the village of Glounthaune on the north shore of Cork Harbour is well known for its birds, many of which come from all over northern Europe and beyond, but there is a lot more to the wildlife at the HWI nature reserve than birds. One of our goals it to find out as much as we can about all aspects of life, both plant and animal, that live or visit HIW. This is a report on the butterflies and moths of HIW. Butterflies After birds, butterflies are probably the one of the best known flying creatures. While there has been no structured study of them on at HIW, 17 of Ireland’s 33 resident and regular migrant species of Irish butterflies have been recorded. Just this summer we added the Comma butterfly to the island list. A species spreading across Ireland in recent years possibly in response to climate change. Hopefully we can set up regular monitoring of the butterflies at HIW in the next couple of years. Butterfly Species Recorded at Harper’s Island Wetlands up to September 2020. Colias croceus Clouded Yellow Pieris brassicae Large White Pieris rapae Small White Pieris napi Green-veined White Anthocharis cardamines Orange-tip Lycaena phlaeas Small Copper Polyommatus icarus Common Blue Celastrina argiolus Holly Blue Vanessa atalanta Red Admiral Vanessa cardui Painted Lady Aglais io Peacock Aglais urticae Small Tortoiseshell Polygonia c-album Comma Speyeria aglaja Dark-green Fritillary Pararge aegeria Speckled Wood Maniola jurtina Meadow Brown Aphantopus hyperantus Ringlet Moths One group of insects that are rarely seen by visitors to HIW is the moths.

  • HOVERFLY NEWSLETTER Dipterists
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 41 NEWSLETTER SPRING 2006 Dipterists Forum ISSN 1358-5029 As a new season begins, no doubt we are all hoping for a more productive recording year than we have had in the last three or so. Despite the frustration of recent seasons it is clear that national and international study of hoverflies is in good health, as witnessed by the success of the Leiden symposium and the Recording Scheme’s report (though the conundrum of the decline in UK records of difficult species is mystifying). New readers may wonder why the list of literature references from page 15 onwards covers publications for the year 2000 only. The reason for this is that for several issues nobody was available to compile these lists. Roger Morris kindly agreed to take on this task and to catch up for the missing years. Each newsletter for the present will include a list covering one complete year of the backlog, and since there are two newsletters per year the backlog will gradually be eliminated. Once again I thank all contributors and I welcome articles for future newsletters; these may be sent as email attachments, typed hard copy, manuscript or even dictated by phone, if you wish. Please do not forget the “Interesting Recent Records” feature, which is rather sparse in this issue. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 42 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2006 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email: [email protected], to reach me by 20 June 2006.

O’Connor2 1Department of Zoology and Animal Ecology, School of BEES, University College Cork, Distillery Fields, North Mall, Cork, Ireland. e-mail: <[email protected]> 2Emeritus Entomologist, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2, Ireland. Abstract Additions, deletions and corrections are made to the Irish checklist of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). Elachista biatomella (Stainton, 1848) is added to the Irish list. The total number of confirmed Irish species of Lepidoptera now stands at 1480. Key words: Lepidoptera, additions, deletions, corrections, Irish list, Elachista biatomella Introduction Bond, Nash and O’Connor (2006) provided a checklist of the Irish Lepidoptera. Since its publication, many new discoveries have been made and are reported here. In addition, several deletions have been made. A concise and updated checklist is provided. The following abbreviations are used in the text: BM(NH) – The Natural History Museum, London; NMINH – National Museum of Ireland, Natural History, Dublin. The total number of confirmed Irish species now stands at 1480, an addition of 68 since Bond et al. (2006). Taxonomic arrangement As a result of recent systematic research, it has been necessary to replace the arrangement familiar to British and Irish Lepidopterists by the Fauna Europaea [FE] system used by Karsholt 60 Bulletin of the Irish Biogeographical Society No. 36 (2012) and Razowski, which is widely used in continental Europe.

  • Hoverfly Newsletter 33
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 33 NEWSLETTER FEBRUARY 2002 ISSN 1358-5029 The spread westwards and northwards of Volucella inanis and Volucella zonaria has been reflected in occasional articles in this newsletter over the years. This issue has no fewer than four notes on the subject, an indication of the increased spread of these species within the last couple of years. Look out for Stuart Ball’s and Roger Morris’s forthcoming paper on the expansion of these species.

(Diptera, Syrphidae) Dieter Doczkal Doczkal, D. (1998): Leucozona lucorum (Linnaeus) - a species complex? (Diptera, Syrphidae). - Volucella 3 (1/2), 27-49. Stuttgart. The Central European populations of Leucozona (s.s.) are divided into two phenotypes based on a set of characters from adult morphology. For all but two of these characters the two phenotypes exhibit an overlapping variability. The validity of differentiating the two phenotypes taxonomically is demonstrated by biometric analysis. The available data on range, habitat, and flight period do not provide definite differences. The considerable number of differential characters, the lack of intermediate specimens, and sympatric occurrence of the two phenotypes indicate that gene-flow is interrupted. On this basis, these phenotypes are regarded as representing distinct species level taxa. The names lucorum (Linnaeus) and nigripila Mik are proposed for them. The status of the allopatric taxon americana Curran is still uncertain. Zusammenfassung Die mitteleuropäischen Populationen von Leucozona (s.s.) werden anhand einiger Merkmale der Imaginal-Morphologie zwei Phänotypen zugeordnet. Mit zwei Aus­ nahmen überschneiden sich die Variationsbreiten aller Merkmale. Durch eine biometrische Analyse werden die Unterschiede bestätigt. Die vorliegenden Daten zu Verbreitung, Lebensraum und Flugzeit lassen keine eindeutigen Unterschiede erken­ nen.
