2001 - a 1 km square odyssey

Still needed a few more this afternoon to get to the 2000 mark, so got a tube out the freezer dated August 3rd, with various specimens from the moth trap in the garden - and a good tube it was, with a nationally scarce saltmarsh carabid and a second record of Amara majuscula, which I recorded as new to Britain in the garden in 2015, plus a few other things new for the year. Have also been looking at a few parasitic hymenoptera recently.

    1. Thanks Andy - who needs birds (but did see a King Eider at Horsey the other day!).

  2. Yeah, but a scabby one I see. Not worth it unless a full adult male.

  3. Awesome work. Congrats! I definitely need some pointers on Hymenoptera. The field seems rather opaque to me but as with a lot of things I think the materials required are maturing.
