New Hopper recording website

[tristanba]

Just to tell you all about the launch of a new recording scheme website for leafhoppers and allied insects (Auchenorrhycnha) which can be found at www.ledra.co.uk

The website provides a focus for the increased interest in this group and is intended to stimulate wider recording of Auchenorrhyncha in Britain and Ireland. It contains a lot of information that should help you to find out more about this fascinating group of insects, including: identification keys to families; a checklist of species; species that have recently been recorded in Britain for the first time; BAP species; habitats in which to search; collecting techniques; how to start recording; a standard recording form; provisional maps; literature; photos; newsletters; and much more.

Thanks for looking and hoping some of you will get involved.

Cheers
Tristan

Afternoon Tristan,

Yes, I saw this site advertised some time back. I got the email last night and looked; I'll fill-in the recording form soon and submit.

Thanks for the post.

Take care,

Jason

I have bookmarked the site. But the recording form is in an Excel format so I won't be able to access it.

Thanks for the link Tristan. Will try + learn a few for when you're pointing them out on field trips later in the season!

This is very nice to have, keenly awaiting the on-line recording bit .

Been having a browse around, and notice no Ledra aurita records in 100km square SK, but have had one to light in the garden, and I think others have recorded them in the Nottingham area.

Note, to self, time to get all those 2010 records finished.

Um... other than the first page that introduces the website and the first Newsletter, is there a button somewhere to enter it? I realise it's of course a work-in-progress, but just curious.

I was interested in the Collecting Techniques you mention Tristan. Will this include mounting?

Oh dear....are you not seeing the horizontal menu bar below the banner?

Great! Alan is delighted with the response so far, and has already received a few sets of records

...um, what horizontal menu bar below the banner?

It's most likely my Linux netbook running the Opera browser. I viewed the source and got the individual links where they form the menu, that way.

Very nice from what I've seen
