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!

Hi Goosey, I'm not sure if I should be pleased or worried Anyway - the folks on Nederpix certainly take better photos than I do, but identification is usually not their forté This is of course Oniscus asellus, not Porcellio scaber. Surprised to see that Mark van Veen who commented on the photo didn't notice - he's a very experienced entomologist If you have a Nederpix account feel free to pass the message, I certainly am not going to register just for the purpose. Cheers! Arp

Hi Arp, I just saw this on Nederpix and thought of you! (in the best possible way of course )
