Nothing much here - but without any real looking! A Winter Gnat on the way to work this morning, and two life-stages of a Woodlouse likely Porcellio scaber. |

A micro-moth fluttering about in the food court at Bluewater this evening. No idea what species and I had nothing to catch it in to bring it home for photos.

P.s. when does winter finish and they all become active spring invertebrates?

A hoverfly in my garden not 5 mins ago, possibly Eristalis tenax. In a brief burst of sunshine.

I'll start the next 2010/11 thread around December if I may.  Thanks all for contributing!

Thanks all for contributing! | The weather guys would agree with you Jason as they run the seasons in 3 month blocks with spring starting on Mar 1st, but for most people the official start is on the spring equinox which is on March 20. Similarly autumn starts on the autumn equinox. |

What!? I always thought spring started with the spring equinox (20 of March this year)...

Any chance we can un-sticky this until the winter? It's a great thread but a bit redundant now until chilly winter returns... |
