Mmmm, nutty chocolate.

Any takers?

Insects have the greatest number of individuals living of at any one time.
It is estimated that there are approximately 10 quintillion (10,000,000,000,000,000,000)
individual insects alive.
It's hard to imagine, but 95% of all the animal species on the earth are insects
Several enlightening studies have been conducted involving the numbers of individual
insects in a given area.
In North Carolina, soil samples to a depth of 5 inches yielded a calculation that there
were approximately 124 million animals per acre, of which 90 million were mites, 28
million were springtails, and 4.5 million were other insects.
Recent figures indicate that there are more than 200 million insects for each human on
the planet!]]> Do you know this facts about insects ?

I was on the west coast of Scotland last week and came across a group of insects on a rock not far from a small Loch. Here's a picture:

unusual insects

I really hope someone can identify them for me as I have never seen them up there before.

I look forward to your replies!

Cheers,

After a bit of investigating I now wonder if these are the nymph of Picromerus bidens, in which case would this be unusual to find in Scotland? I was west of Fort William if that helps...]]>

I saw today a large flying insect, about the size of a hummingbird hawk moth but with wings like a damselfly(two sets, one behind the other) and the thorax(that's the bum bit isn't it?) was very much like a wasp?!

If you wish to post about something unrelated to entomology, please state at the top that you are indeed an entomologist and just want to talk to entomologists about another topic, otherwise I will assume it is spam.

Inappropriate posts, or those containing inappropriate language, will be deleted, and repeat offences lead to being banned.

Hello folk’s

After what seems like an age of procrastinating I have finally arranged a trip to Bug World at Bristol Zoo (I know that a few of you have been aware of this on the grape vine).

The trip is open to members and non members alike and will consist of a tour by the head curator of entomology Warren Spencer, and a look at the diversity and importance of insects, after that there will be a few hours to look around the rest of the zoo if you wish; the trip is costed at £10 per person which is great value for money as it includes travel and entry!

Bring your own packed lunches if you wish although food will no doubted be available at Bristol Zoo. There are only 30 spaces available so it will be a strictly first come first served basis. If you could have your money ready for me ASAP once you are on the list that would be great (as I need to get that to Bristol) money can be left at Pete Smithers office in the Davy Building, I will also arrange a day and place so people can come then if they wish.

We will be leaving from outside the University (museum side) at 08:30 on April the 4th and departing Bristol at 15:30 to hopefully return here for around 17:30ish.

If you wish to come please contact me via Email
