CANCELLED Drop-in Session

Post by RachelMC »

In the current situation, this event is now CANCELLED
Drop-in session - Dragonfly and Damselfly Identification 8th April 2020

Did you know... that we have 22 species of damselfly and 35 species of dragonfly in the UK? These beautiful invertebrates are often a common and striking feature of ponds, rivers and other water bodies. Come along to have a go at identifying some of the common species.
We’ll have museum specimens, guides and microscopes on hand to use, so you can familiarise yourself with the dragonflies and damselflies you're likely to encounter in Cheshire this year. If you’re new to invertebrate identification, we’ll help get you started and work together to understand what features to look out for. For anyone with an existing interest, it’s a great chance to find out some more detail about this group through practising species identification in a friendly setting.

*Please note* This is not a formal workshop, just an opportunity to 'give it a go' along with other interested people in a shared learning environment.

These Drop-in Sessions are run in collaboration with the Tanyptera project.

Whilst each session has a theme, you’re welcome to work on your own tasks making use of RECORD/World Museum facilities. You can request museum reference specimens, equipment and literature in advance to help check identifications / practice with a particular group. Feel free to bring your own material too. Email info@record-lrc.co.uk for more information or to request specimens or equipment. If you have any dietary requirements / allergies please also let us know in advance.

Whilst this is a free event, places are limited and booking is essential. We expect places to be booked up quickly so please book early to avoid disappointment.

Please make sure to cancel your place if you can no longer attend so that someone else can come instead. Tickets are limited to 2 per person, however please email us if you would like to book more than this.
