		<description><![CDATA[Funny field-trip today &#8211; started badly when I discovered that the Wildlife Trust had put cows into the only field with a decent patch of hogweeds and totally trashed it. Needless destruction of nectar sources really annoys me &#8211; they could have put the cows into another field while the hogweeds were flowering but no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today I went for a quick walk around Warburg nature reserve, near Henley-on-Thames. The main idea was to check for Villa cingulata (a rare speciality of the site) and to generally have a look for tachinids. Villa were seen in good numbers around the visitor&#8217;s center, The Range and Big Ashes ride &#8211; at least [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The cloud too a long time to clear so I only got out to Moor Copse after 2pm. Still, the insects didn&#8217;t seem to matter and the hogweeds were in full flower so it turned out to be a good day.
Some highlights are: Nowickia ferox, Phasia hemiptera, Dinera grisescens, and a really amazing Silver-washed Fritillary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I braved clouds of Cleg flies at Moor Copse today to take some photos and catch some flies. Saw lots of Dinera grisescens and Phasia obesa/pusilla-group and some Exorista rustica-group, a single Nowickia ferox and a superb Stratiomys potamida. One of the nicest sights though were dozens of Silver-washed Fritillaries flying along the river bank [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently I sent a parcel of difficult tachinids to Peter Tschorsnig and he returned them a few weeks ago, with his identifications. One really interesting result was that a tachinid sent to me by Jorge Almeida (caught Serra da Estrela, Portugal; VII.2009) that I had previously determined as E.picta was actually an example of a [...]]]></description>

The regions covered include the Caucasus, Urals and a few other areas &#8211; places which are seldom collected by workers living outside Russia, so it looked like it might yield [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just a few tachinids today &#8211; lots of ragged Zophomyia temula and a few Tachina fera but no sign of any Eurithia yet. One nice highlight though was finding a mating pair of Scarlet Tiger moths on Comfrey. There were also quite a lot of dead Empis tesellata &#8211; parasitized by the fungus Entomophaga.

It wasn&#8217;t very busy but there were some nice tachinids &#8211; notably: a lot of Zophomyia temula flying in and out of the low vegetation; Thelaira [...]]]></description>

This batch comes courtesy of the Parc Amazonien de Guyane and was collected by Stéphane Brule and his colleagues at Société Entomologique Antilles-Guyane (S.E.A.G.). Stéphane also included a few samples that he collected in the northern regions, which come with [...]]]></description>

The specimens have languished in boxes for ages but just recently I have started to work on them using Crosskey (1976). The key works fairly well but there are quite [...]]]></description>
