Suffolk Naturalist: July 2013
http://www.suffolknaturalist.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Just an ordinary guy with a keen interest in all things nature. Friday, 26 July 2013. I got the key, I got the secret. I got the key, I got the secret someone once sung. But I'm pretty sure they weren't singing about the same key as me. No, the key or keys I talk about do not unlock a door, but they do help unlock clues which help us identify various insects. For example, most of us can point to a hoverfly and say, ' that's a hoverfly'. So, what is a key? The different wing venation in pipistrelle bats.

Suffolk Naturalist: April 2013
http://www.suffolknaturalist.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Just an ordinary guy with a keen interest in all things nature. Monday, 22 April 2013. Don't panic, there are no tigers of any colour roaming the Suffolk countryside, or UK for that matter. No, the green tiger I was after was the Green Tiger Beetle C icindela campestris. It all started at the start of April, whilst I was looking round my local patch, Purdis Heath. In the sandier parts of the heath, I kept coming across these little mounds of soil with a hole in the middle. There's a reason for this joy, ...

A Zooniverse Project Blog. October 4, 2012. I’ve Found a Bat Now What? As you know, we have a huge number of audio snippets and we want to know what’s in them!
