Yup...another for Natalina, who must be amassing a fair amount of data from this site!

The main aim of this group is to record Merodon equestris sightings to build a picture of its colour form variation in the UK.
Merodon equestris is a polymorphic hoverfly known to have at least 34 different colour forms.
The data gathered from this group will be used in an MSc thesis aiming to shed light on where Merodon equestris is most frequently seen, its emergence times, and geographical spread of colour forms across different areas and habitats in the UK.
I would be very grateful if photos of any sightings of Merodon equestris in the UK could be posted on this group. Please include a photo, date, location, details of habitat type (urban park, garden, meadow, woodland ect.) and grid reference. If you are unsure of what your grid reference is then here is a link to a helpful web site called grid reference finder, where you can find your grid reference www.gridreferencefinder.com/.
This group is open to anyone, whether novice or expert. Here is a link to Steven Falk's photo album of Merodon equestris on Flickr to give you an idea of what this species looks like www.flickr.com/…/63075200@N…/sets/72157629553247540/.
All the records posted on this group will be passed on to the Hoverfly Recording Scheme.
Please join this group, add friends and share it with anyone who records or has an interest in hoverflies!
Thank you!

Papilio memnon, the great Mormon, is a large butterfly native to southern Asia that belongs to the swallowtail family. It is widely distributed and has thirteen subspecies. The female is polymorphic and with mimetic forms.

This is one of Passion flower species - Passiflora foetida which has an edible fruit about the size of a thumb, yellowish-orange when ripe and tastes very sweet. The local name is "Letup" - an explosives. This is because when the ripe fruit is crushed it will burst with a "Pop" sound.
This plant is also a polymorphic where is the flower colour can range from white, lilac and purple.
POISONOUS
All parts of the plant are poisonous, containing cyanogenic glycosides(hydrogen cyanide). In small quantities, hydrogen cyanide has been shown to stimulate respiration and improve digestion, it is also claimed to be of benefit in the treatment of cancer. In excess, however, it can cause respiratory failure and even death. This species is polymorphic for cyanogenic glycosides. The flowers of some forms of the plant contain traces of prussic acid and so the plants can become mildly toxic when flowering. They are completely innocuous when dried.
No known Edible uses.
MEDICINAL USES: Anti-inflammatory; Antispasmodic; Cardiotonic; Carminative; Febrifuge; Hypoglycemic; Restorative; Sedative;
Tonic; Vermifuge.
Carminative, febrifuge, hypoglycemic, restorative, vermifuge. The flowers are antispasmodic, cardiotonic and sedative. The root is carminative, febrifuge, restorative and tonic. The plant is used externally as a local anti-inflammatory compress in all cases of skin inflammation.
OTHER USES: Dye; Green manure.
An orange-yellow dye is obtained from the flowers. A useful green manure plant, fixing atmospheric nitrogen. It is difficult to see this plant as a useful green manure, it is fairly slow growing and does not produce much bulk
.
Family: Moraceae
Common name: paper mulberry
The leaves of this plant are polymorphic and can be the same types of shapes as the red mulberry.
This bird is of the migrant "Blue-headed" race. Yellow Wagtail is a highly polymorphic species. Oropos Lagoon, Attiki, Greece.

Photo taken from a cruise ship off the southwest coast of Mexico. Thanks to Tony Leukering for help with identifying this (and a few other) Red-footed Boobies. This species is polymorphic with Pacific populations somewhat different from Caribbean.
