An Introduction to Leaf-hoppers and Allied Groups (2):

Saturday 19 January 2013 - An introduction to leafhoppers and allied groups: held at the headquarters of the British Entomological & Natural History Society at Dinton Pastures Country Park, Reading – 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 those who are more experienced in recording these groups. 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.
