Hedgerows are an important part of the British countryside, often acting as links between larger wildlife habitats and helping insects not only to survive, but to move between different habitats.
Hedgerows are of particular importance, where they still exist, in areas of intensive agriculture.
Both members, and non members, are invited to bring exhibits of insects found in their local hedgerows. Such exhibits may include, for example, the range of insects found in their hedgerows, insects visiting hedgerow flowers, insects bred from larva found on hedgerow trees and plants or insects found in hedgerow leaf litter or vegetation. The exhibits may take any form and do not need to be restricted to one Order of insects, or to insects found during the coming months. Photographic or graphical displays will be welcome. Council hope that this advanced notice will help members plan their entomological activities over the coming months and to increase the number and variety of exhibits at the exhibition.
