Insects in the news

A biodiversity crisis indicated by UK moths in decline

The frog and the mosquito

Ants teach each other a lesson

Could the decline in British sparrows be because of a lack of spiders (spiders are not insects, but you knew that)? Why the scarcity of spiders?

... and a story of termites being spread around in garden mulch (more a rumour than news, but interesting).

Our new website

Our website is live at last.

Its just over a week before we leave for France. The contents of the flat are gradually disappearing into boxes - all due to the heroic efforts of Regine. I've packed a box and a half so far - Regine has packed nearly 70!

Next week we pick up two large vans from Calais, bring them back to London and fill them up. We will have two friends and a couple of 'man with van' people (only without their van).
