Leafhoppers & Allies: identification, ecology and recording - Alan Stewart

This talk will explore the leafhoppers, planthoppers, froghoppers and treehoppers, collectively known as the Auchenorrhyncha. With over 400 species in Britain, Alan Stewart, the coordinator for the national Auchenorrhyncha Recording Scheme, will provide an introduction to this diverse and attractive group of plant-feeding insects. He will cover the basic identification features of the main families, including some common and distinctive species that people are most likely to come across, their ecology including associations with particular plants, habitats and their geographical distributions, and some suggestions for collecting and recording. The talk is suitable for anyone with no prior knowledge of this group.
