Annoying about the computer, you really don't know how much you rely on them until they can't be used.
Were you anywhere near the Tour de France routes?
Indonesia, that sounds rather exotic and such a long way, I have to brace myself for Amsterdam! I hope you take loads of piccies to show us and don't forget my moth souvenir!

Ah!!!! you are back! I thought you had gone off to Africa with the football and then on safari or something as you disappearance coincided with it.
My news - I found a very large and exciting pine beetle in the garden when you were gone - I submitted the find with piccies to waarnemmings as it was on the red data list.
I also found a strange ladybird which stumped Paul but didn't have a very good image (see unidentified gallery page 2).
Good to have you back!

Where are you? It's been a month since you have been here, hope its a holiday or something nice. If you check out the site without logging in, hoi and hope to see you soon

Excellent, excellent! That was just what I was after - thanks so much!

Hi Arp, can you tell me if it is possible to use Waarneming.nl to see what birds, insects mamals etc have been seen in NPZK or Ijmuiden please. Would I just be able to see what has been included for this area or will I have to look through all submissions for Nederland to find any I want? And where would I find that on the website?

Happy Christmas, Arp, and a successful year 2010.

Hi Goosey,

Never used one, but I think these are generally referred to as "lichtval" (light trap) or "vlinderval". I take it most people roll their own and I'm sure there's ample discussions or how-to's to be found on the net (like here ). One store specializing in Entomology (that I know of) would be Vermandel; their traps are here. I've also found this manual for traps available at stichtingkoekeloere.nl but I didn't readily find the traps on their site.
Cheers, Arp

Hi Arp - I don't suppose you know what a "moth trap" is called in Dutch or a supplier of them? I don't know any moth groups local to me to ask.

I have come across some dubvious fungi ID's before there, things I have picked up on myself more recently, but in the beginning when I was using it as an ID aid I made some right clangers relying on it when I was starting out with fungi.
No, I don't have an account, I just love to look at the galleries there are some wonderful images there which makes me green with envy!
