Top of my list: I'd love to witness and photograph the emergence of a dragonfly (any species) from its larval case - start to finish.
There are just too many species on my "wants" list, however one I'd particularly like to tick off is the spiky looking harvestman Megabunus diadema.

Since 99% of my recording is undertaken in the Barnsley area, the question translates to which species would I most like to add to the local list.
Bee-fly is the answer, followed by Volucella zonaria.

Any 'new to Britain' tachinid flies would be nice We have a short-list of species that have been expanding in Europe and *should* make landfall here very soon ... but each year we get other species that we hadn't predicted 
Top of my list would be Ectophasia crassipennis and Phasia aurigera |

Hi all,
A great idea for a thread! I say it each year when there ID requests come in each spring, that I have yet to see a Bee-fly. Yes, one of them would be nice. Purple Hairstreak butterflies are on my list, and any new Tephritidae flies too. The Southern Green Shieldbug is up there on my list, as are Scorpion flies... each year I say I have never seen one!
Oh, and a nice Cerambycid or Cantharid beetle would do nicely too...
Take care, Jason  |

Thanks Jason! We all would like to see rare or newly recorded species but it can be soooo frustrating never coming across those that are considered fairly 'common'!
