 Hello,

I live in Italy, exactly in the north-east, here we have big problems with infestations of this mosquito, I would like to know if the correct name of the subject is Aedes albopictus.

 I would say it is albopictus - a somewhat worn individual.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
