This group is available for you to post questions about the study, rearing and identification of insects and other arthropods in association with the Amateur Entomologists' Society Bug Club. The Bug Club is for youngsters interested in insects and other minibeasts. Bug Clubbers receive a colourful and exciting magazine six times a year and a variety of other benefits.
When sending a question please include details of your Country/State. We will answer your questions wherever possible. However, many require local knowledge and we hope that enthusiasts from around the world will help to answer questions from their own regions.
Pictures of bugs that still need to be identified can be found in the Folders marked Identity1 to Identity4 in the Files area. If you want an insect identified click on the appropriate Identity file and use the Add File facility to send your picture to the group.
Here we have another mystery larva. This one found on the trail, in the grass. The only thing I see like it in my refs is Pandora Sphinx (Pholus satellitia)
Thanks a million! I think that's the one, or pretty close - the legs were more orange, but it might be in the same family! Thank you for your help. Shelley
Hello - I have tried to find out what this was but have not had any luck. It's body was about 2 inches long and had around 24 legs with long pairs of feelers
