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. -

(2015): The role of biodiversity conservation in education at Warsaw University Botanic Garden. – Thaiszia – J. Bot. 25 (Suppl. 1): 35-44. – ISSN 1210-0420. Abstract: The Botanic Garden of Warsaw University, established in 1818, is one of the oldest botanic gardens in Poland. It is located in the centre of Warsaw within its historic district. Initially it covered an area of 22 ha, but in 1834 the garden area was reduced by 2/3, and has remained unchanged since then. Today, the cultivated area covers 5.16 ha. The plant collection of 5000 taxa forms the foundation for a diverse range of educational activities. The collection of threatened and protected Polish plant species plays an especially important role. The Botanic Garden is a scientific and didactic unit. Its educational activities are aimed not only at university students, biology teachers, and school and preschool children, but also at a very wide public. Within the garden there are designed and well marked educational paths dedicated to various topics. Clear descriptions of the paths can be found in the garden guide, both in Polish and English. Specially designed educational games for children, Green Peter and Green Domino, serve a supplementary role. -

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. -

Corylus Avellana
Corylus avellana Corylus avellana, the common hazel, is a species of hazel native to Europe and western Asia, from the British Isles south to Iberia, Greece, Turkey and Cyprus, north to central Scandinavia, and east to the central Ural Mountains, the Caucasus, and northwestern Iran. It is an important component of the hedgerows that were the traditional field boundaries in lowland England. The wood was traditionally grown as coppice, the poles cut being used for wattle-and-daub building and agricultural fencing. Common hazel is cultivated for its nuts. The name hazelnut applies to the nuts of any of the species of the genus Corylus. This hazelnut or cob nut, the kernel of the seed, is edible and used raw or roasted, or ground into a paste. The cob is round, compared with the longer filbert nut. Description Common hazel is typically a shrub reaching 3–8 m tall, but can reach 15 m. The leaves are deciduous, rounded, 6–12 cm long and across, softly hairy on both surfaces, and with a double-serrate margin. The flowers are produced very early in spring, before the leaves, and are monoecious with single-sex wind-pollinated catkins. Male catkins are pale yellow and 5–12 cm long, while female catkins are very small and largely concealed in the buds with only the bright red 1–3 mm long styles visible. The fruit is a nut, produced in clusters of one to five together, each nut held in a short leafy involucre ("husk") which encloses about three quarters of the nut. The nut is roughly spherical to oval, 15–20 mm long and 12–20 mm broad (larger, up to 25 mm long, in some cultivated selections), yellow-brown with a pale scar at the base. -

2014 Annual Moth Report
Introduction We would have an extremely varied year in 2014. Although the year started slowly and finished earlier than normal, overall for us it was a pretty good year. Compared to recent trends of either brilliant or awful, the weather was consistently good through the peak periods. A dip in August came as a welcome relief with all the long nights spent counting moths of the previous couple of months taking their toll. The mild autumn threw up many surprises and you never knew what you would find in the traps on any night. We visited lots very different habitats from hedgerows on army bases to fields at burial grounds to friend’s gardens. All of which provided something of interest to our hosts and us. February The year got off to a slow start and it wasn’t until mid February that the mothing got underway. A belated and hastily arranged trip to Chaddesley Wood meant only Peter Beasley and Chris Johnson were able to join Alan at such short notice on a Wednesday night. The four traps were set up and switched on just before 6 p.m. and a steady flow of moths arrived at them over the next four hours. As soon as Chris noticed the first drops of rain in the air the packing up began. Only the last trap required an umbrella to shelter under to complete the counting. Over 200 moths were recorded with, unsurprisingly, just over half of them being Tortricodes alternella. March Moth and Pale Brindled Beauty were also amongst the eleven species recorded. -
