Beetle Boy's BioBlog: Species of the Week: Hermit Crabs

http://beetleboybioblog.blogspot.com/2014/10/species-of-week-hermit-crabs.html

The thoughts and experiences of a young Naturalist! Monday, 6 October 2014. Species of the Week: Hermit Crabs. I am very fond of Hermit Crabs - they're fascinating crustaceans, and I have good memories of watching them scrambling about in my old marine aquarium. Hermit Crabs are a superfamily, known scientifically as the Paguroidea superfamily. They are well known for using empty sea snail shells as a mobile house, but occasionally they will use hollow stones or bits of wood! A Common Hermit Crab. As I h...

Tarka Challenge: Bat

http://rudistarkachallenge.blogspot.com/2014/12/bat.html

The rules are simple, i must either see each thing myself or photograph it using my trail camera. I will try and see each thing on my local patch (Ogmore River Catchment) but may need to look somewhere else in Britain. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). British Nature I.D.

Beetle Boy's BioBlog: January 2014

http://beetleboybioblog.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

The thoughts and experiences of a young Naturalist! Thursday, 30 January 2014. Is It A Slug, Is It A Tadpole? No It's A Sawfly Larvae! The first thing that I'd like to say is an apology for the lack of posts recently. On the 7th of October, my Mum and I were having a walk on the Breathing Space, a local green area (see my previous post, My Wildlife Event. We asked the local. Barry Warrington, and he identified it as an Oak Slug Sawfly, something that he doesn't see very often. Just lately I've been resea...

Frog End Wildlife: Dragonflies every day

http://frog-end-wildlife.blogspot.com/2011/07/dragonflies-every-day.html

Sunday, 17 July 2011. As many of you will know from various family blogs, Ian and I got married yesterday. There will no doubt be posts with photos from the wedding on various blogs, but I couldn't resist putting a couple of wildlife-related photos on here. As readers will know I am particularly fond of dragonflies and from now on I will be able to look at some every day. After seeing a wedding ring engraved with fish I had the idea to have ours with dragonflies and Smooch Rings. 22 July 2011 at 18:37.

The Hope Entomological Collections: EntoModena

http://hopeyoulikeinsects.blogspot.com/2013/04/entomodena.html

Monday, 29 April 2013. Specimens and equipment for sale at EntoModena. Last week I spent a few days in sunny Italy, visiting my good friends Stefano and Roberta Ziani and timed to coincide with the Italian entomological show ' EntoModena. I had a wonderful few days of dung beetle chitchat and homemade, mouth-watering Italian gnocchi. My vegan gnocchi as made by Roberta Ziani- it was that good it needed a picture all to itself. EntoModena is similar to the Juvisy and Prague. Pasta picnic at EntoModena 2013.

The Hope Entomological Collections: Gynandromorphs

http://hopeyoulikeinsects.blogspot.com/2013/05/gynandromorphs.html

Wednesday, 15 May 2013. Very occasionally we come across some rather special butterfly specimens. These are gynandromorphs. Individuals which are part male and part female. In many species of butterfly males and females have different colour patterns. In these species spectacular gynandromorphs can sometimes arise where one half is male and the other female. The genetic cause of these bilateral gynandromorphs. Is complex but essentially an X chromosome is lost very early in cell division of the embryo.
