| | | Entomology research in winter!
This is just a general question for the entomology guys that are involved in research.
I know with global warming etc there are many more insects about in the winter these days, but what sort of research do you do at this ‘quiet’ time of year?
Is it a case of gathering all your data that you’ve been collecting through the year and publishing reports on what is found?
Or is it holiday time? |

For me winter is a time to sort out all the stuff that couldn't be done in the summer-sorting out the collection, identifying things that weren't immediately important and were put in the to-do pile, and catching up on paperwork. Work-wise there are papers to write, and maybe another project to set started on.
Of course there will be a holiday invoved somewhere too  |

My winter research will be going through my "Pics to be sorted" folder, which currently holds 735 items .... I know some of those will be deleted when the time comes, but I also know I have a hell of a lot of unidentified stuff in there - in fact I have a lot of unidentified flower shots in there which will surely be appearing in these forums at some stage in the future!! |

For myself, it seems a good time to do plenty of reading on the subject.........what do you mean about time! You never know, I might even blow you all away in the spring with my new found super duper ID skills......well, maybe  
I have a feeling though, we may have plenty of ID'ing to do for Jez in the coming months! |
