Millipede identification dayschool: for beginners and beyond.

Paul Richards (Sheffield – Sorby Natural History Society)

Through a morning indoor session we will learn to recognize the main types of millipede and look closely at the 33 species local to Sheffield.  One of these only occurs in Ecclesall woods, so we will be well placed to search for that and other specimens and then study our finds under microscopes in the afternoon.

The course leader, Paul Richards has recently published ebooks on Millipedes, Centipedes and Woodlice, which will be available on the day, but are not essential for the course. 

Booking is essential, but FREE to members of the Sorby Natural History Society.  Non-members can join on the day.  Please book now at: pedesnpods@yahoo.co.uk.
