Great talk by Rosy Christopher on Flower Crab Spider (Misumena vatia) & the plants on which it sits & waits for its insect prey. As usual outstanding job done by Biological Recording Company (Keiron Derek Brown & Joss Carr) in organizing & hosting the talk!

Have listened to many of the offered webinars and all have been useful in some dimension whether to guide local research, or to guide management activities for example: the Leech Identification webinar by Craig Macadam, which has helped local herpetologists to hone their identification skills in native leech species ID, as opposed to a recently discovered non-native species, that has been observed on the eyes of our native amphibians. The Yellow Meadow Ant talk by Dr Tim King has also been extremely useful to both appreciate the species' ecological requirements and also to guide sensitive management of our local urban meadows with a newly found population of yellow meadow ants! Thank you all!

I've just attended the Exploring Underwater Scilly webinar.. I'd thoroughly recommend Biological Recording Company webinars. They are very well run and really interesting.
