I can recommend them. The woman there took a lot of trouble to get me the hemp agromony I wanted... and she seemed quite knowledgeable about dragonflies.

I agree Ken,
I have ordered several different plant species from this company and have had excellent service from them by return of post. I have found that whenever you order 'plugs', they always include more than you actually order, just in case a few don't arrive in perfect condition.

Good moth site.

This following site
http://www.back-garden-moths.co.uk
continues to get better and is becoming one that I visit regularly. It's also recently introduced a forum which has some wonderful images of various insects and plant life posted in it. Worth a visit.

This was a good Moth thread from last year, It ran through May and has lots of pictures. It'll give a good idea of what should turn up.

A very usefull site for various equipment for Birders, Entomologists, and Batmen & Batwomen is:-

http://www.alanaecology.com/

This is an English company based in Shropshire, all sorts of 'goodies' are stocked by them. It's well worth a browse through their on-line catalogue. It costs nothing to have a look.

This is only of temporary interest but Tony Davies is running a course on the finding and identification of micros which someone might like to attend:
http://www.field-studies-council.org/leisurelearning/2005/courseinfo.aspx?id=478
There are quite a few courses of interest to lepidopeterists. Eg:

If only I had the time and money!!

Thanks, Steve,

This site has some lovely photos though it's hard to navigate wenn sie nicht Deutsch sprechen.

An interesting check list

Hello everybody!

I have found this site very useful: http://www.faunaeur.org/.
When you want for example a check list from a country, choose "Distribution" and then "List species by region". Then choose the taxonomic level and the name of country or region.

Surreybirder · Aug 22, 2005

The very good Polish moth/butterfly site seems to have moved (for English language at least) to
http://66.118.176.52/~baipl/lepidoptera/start.php?lang=UK
Any Birdforum photographers who want to submit moth and butterfly photos might like to note that there is an upload button on the menu (click on 'files' first).
