Working through a few old images. I think this is a scale insect (#Coccoidea). Found on Birch at Box Hill, Surrey, UK in April 2014. Any suggestions on whether and how it can be identified. AES - amentsoc.org BENHS Tristan Bantock

Working through some old images, I think this is the #moth Stigmella lapponica. Found on Birch (Betula) on Thursley Common, Surrey, UK June 2014. Would appreciate confirmation or correction from those more expert.

Going through a few old images. I think this butterfly from HaYarkon Park, Tel Aviv, Israel in November 2019 might be Zizeeria karsandra. But I'm not familiar with the fauna of that part of the world so not sure. Any thoughts? החברה להגנת הטבע

Working through a few old photos, these a rather uncomfortable few from #PerivaleWood, Middlesex in September 2017. Some sort of Mosquito (Culicidae) I suspect, it bit me, but is it possible to tell which species. More images at ispotnature.org/communities/uk…

Going through some old images. A bug from HaYarkon Park, Tel Aviv, Israel from November 2019. Perhaps Pyrrhocoridae of some kind. Is it possible to identify?

Working through an bunch of old images. This little thing (probably only a mm or two long) was on a strand of lichen (this one ispotnature.org/communities/uk…). Hard to be sure what it is, I wondered about some kind of #invertebrate egg. Does anyone have any ideas?

Working through a few old images. Think this #butterfly from Jerusalem in November 2019 is Lang's Short-tailed Blue (Leptotes pirithous) but I'm not that familiar with the butterflies of that part of the world so could be wrong. Do people agree?

A question for UK folks. Can you recommend a UPS computer backup power supply that can take a standard UK 220 volt input and output at 120 volts for a US computer?

A #fossil from #Whitby found in 2016. Looks vaguely like a vertebra but I'm likely wrong. Any thoughts NHM Fossil Mammals. Lines on the paper are about 7mm apart so perhaps around 28mm in diameter.

A #dragonfly from Tel Aviv, #Israel back in November 2019. I've had an ID suggestion of Orthetrum chrysostigma. What do people think?

Working through a few old photos. This #butterfly from Tel Aviv, #Israel in November 2019 I think is Belenois aurota but it's a bit beyond my region of knowledge. What do people think?
