Introduction to Leaf-hoppers and Allied Groups:

Saturday 10 November 2012 - An introduction to leafhoppers and allied groups: held at the Natural History Museum (Angela Marmont Centre), London – Alan Stewart (Sussex) and Tristan Bantock (London).

An introductory workshop on the identification of leafhoppers, planthoppers, froghoppers and treehoppers (Auchenorrhyncha). The workshop will be mainly for newcomers to recording this group of insects. We will start with a short presentation on the main diagnostic characters used to identify these insects, and other general study issues, after which participants will be able to work through their own material or specimens made available on the day and have their identifications verified.

Entrance to these workshops is free, but please contact: Dr. Ian McLean, BENHS Indoor Meetings Secretary, 109 Miller Way, Brampton, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire PE28 4TZ (E-mail: ianmclean@waitrose.com) in advance to book your place. If possible, please bring your own copies of identification keys and any specimens that you have for identification.
