The Honorary Recorders do a fantastic job, as well as the many who produce the records of the walks, excursions and meetings, articles and help with validating and proof reading, in particular Julia Cooper and Jan Haseler, without whom the task of producing the Naturalist would be impossible. So now it is time for anyone with a passion for natural history to create interesting articles for the next RDNHS Naturalist journal. The spring, summer and autumn time is imminent to inspire you in your particular fields of interest. So don’t forget to document and photograph all those interesting expeditions and discoveries, whether they are near or far and submit them for publication here. Ken White (Hon.

Presidential Musings by David Cliffe When invited to become President, I knew about the annual Presidential Address, having been present at a few of them. But the “musings” had passed me by until recently. My mind will wander off on its own without much prompting, especially during solitary lunches in comfortable chairs in familiar restaurants. Today is a lunch-time in late December, between Christmas and the New Year. I haven’t managed to go on many of the field excursions, but did manage to get to the Dry Sandford Pit in July, to see the Marsh Helleborines in bloom. What I had not expected to see was the Marsh Fragrant-orchid, Gymnadenia densiflora. It was there in all its glory, and there I stood, camera in hand, with water coming over the tops of my boots! This was a first time for me, and a red-letter day. (Of course, there were many other delights to experience during the visit). After nine months in post, one of the first things to come to mind was that ours is an extraordi - narily good society to belong to, if you’re at all interested in natural history. I wish I’d joined as a younger man – I’ve learned so much from people older than myself, great characters, some of whom are no longer with us. I wish I could have known them for longer. Then, since re-joining the committee, I’m amazed at the commitment of its members. They make me feel like a bit of a light-weight dabbler in the shallows, while many of them undertake survey work and practical conservation work, on top of what they do for the Society. And all this to improve the natural (and semi-natural) environment for the rest of us, and our understanding of it. Arranging the programme of talks for the colder part of the year is a major part of what we do, and I’ve been impressed by people’s knowledge in recommending speakers, and finding speakers on a wide variety of different subjects. I must admit to having been a bit non-plussed on being shown the draft programme of speakers and their subjects for the 2017-18 season, and asked if I was happy with it! Needless to say, I was. As President, I am expected to “preside” over all these indoor meetings. I can no longer pick and choose, as I used to, and I have to stay awake and pay attention. It has been interesting to compare the different styles of presentation. The success of any talk is a matter of finding the right balance for your audience. We are a “general interest” natural history society, and that is something that appeals to me. It has given me great pleasure, for example, to be taken on a “bat walk” near the Basingstoke Canal with “bat meters,” and to hear the sounds made by the different species. More recently, I went to Slimbridge with some keen bird-watchers and saw flocks of waders in the estuary from a hide. And the fungus forays have always been enjoyable. Not everyone likes the “academic” style of talk on a very narrow subject. If you’re unlucky, someone presents what is really the summary of a doctoral thesis, with copious bar-charts, graphs, pie-charts and statistical tables. Unless you are an expert, these can be frustrating, and I often think that what the speaker is trying to put across could be explained in a few words, without the need for “visual aids” at all. To be able to make anything of them, I would need to have explained to me what the horizontal and vertical axes signified, and whether the numbers represent a lot or a little. At the same time, it is good to know that you are in the hands of an expert – someone who is at the forefront of current research. And it’s comforting to think that this kind of research still goes on, and that someone is willing to pay for it. One of my grumbles is with speakers who put a load of text onto the screen, and then talk about it. I’d rather just concentrate on the speaker. Maybe this is a “male thing,” being unable to read and listen at the same time. I suspect some speakers do it so that they don’t have to glance at their notes! Then there are speakers who put up several pictures on the screen at the same time, but the pictures are too small to mean very much. Maybe this is my own fault, because I’m short- sighted! Knowledge is important, but enthusiasm counts for a lot in my book. Here I can’t help but think of the two internationally renowned singers, who appeared in recitals with piano accompaniment in the Reading Concert Hall, a few months apart. One had his head in the music for most of the time, and the singing was wonderful, but all a bit “intellectual.” The other looked at his audience, made immediate contact, and sang with emotion, but without exaggerated histrionics. I’ve 1 noticed the same phenomena in Pangbourne Village Hall. There have been some recent talks which I wouldn’t normally have gone to, but the speakers have won me over with their enthusiasm, and I have sat there thinking “Yes . here is someone who has given a large part of his or her life to this subject . This person really knows . This person really cares about the subject . This study could well make things better, for the natural environment and for the rest of us . .” Our Society has now been presenting talks for almost 150 years. Occasionally I have wondered whether, in future, the speakers will record their presentations. There are a few talks I’ve been to that I would rather like to hear again. Perhaps in the future subscribing members will download them from the Internet and watch at home. Maybe the presentation will be in 3-D, with the presenters appearing to stand in front of your television receiver. The sound and vision will be perfect, the pictures wonderful, and you won’t need to get to Pangbourne Village Hall. Let us hope it never comes to that! In a world of ever-increasing automation, where you can make all kinds of transactions without speaking to a living soul, our need for human interaction is as great as ever. Meeting other people for talks, walks, giving, receiving and recording information are very much what we are about, and long may we continue!

  • New Data on 38 Rare for the Lithuanian Fauna Lepidoptera Species Recorded in 2019
    42 BULLETIN OF THE LITHUANIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Volume 3 (31) NEW DATA ON 38 RARE FOR THE LITHUANIAN FAUNA LEPIDOPTERA SPECIES RECORDED IN 2019 VYTAUTAS INOKAITIS, BRIGITA PAULAVIČIŪTĖ T. Ivanauskas Museum of Zoology, Laisvės al. 106 LT-44253 Kaunas, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Lepidoptera is one of the most widespread and widely recognizable insect orders in the world. It can show many variations of the basic body structure that have evolved to gain advantages in lifestyle and distribution. We can find more than 180,000 species of Lepidoptera in the world, which belong to 126 families and 46 superfamilies (Mallet, 2007). There are 482 species in Europe, 451 of them being found in the 27 member states. Almost a third of these species (142 species) are endemic to Europe (Van Swaay et al., 2008). Today more than 2500 species of Lepidoptera are known in Lithuania. Every year new and rare species for Lithuania fauna are discovered (Ivinskis & Rimšaitė, 2018). This article presents new data on 38 rare for Lithuania moth and butterflies species. They were registered in 4 administrative districts of Lithuania. One species - Chariaspilates formosaria (Eversmann, 1837) is included in the Red Data Book of Lithuania (Rašomavičius, 2007).
