Invasive Wasp Alert
1 November 2012 - 2:49pm — kallakatI am a ‘wasp-student’ doing a survey of invasive wasps in s Africa.
Would it be possible to please put the brochure on Ispot? (click below, to see it full size) It has my contact details on it, but alternatively observations on Ispot will be great.
Ideally, I am looking for dead samples of the wasps, but photos are also fine as long as it is possible to positively ID the wasps from them.

iSpot Dictionary Edition 2
31 August 2012 - 3:42pm — tony rebelo
The iSpot dictionary is now updated and tested.
Three significant additions will affect us:
* It now includes Fungi. While this is a great step forward, it is not the final list by far. No synonyms are distinguished and it is just the names recorded in southern Africa to date. An especial thanks to Marlandza and David Minter, for providing links and lists. There are several national groups looking at this and we hope to have the current names and synonyms sorted as an official list of Fungi within a few years.
