Species of the Moment

British Myriapod and Isopod Group (BMIG)
Aims to improve awareness and knowledge of centipedes, millipedes, pauropods & symphylans (the Myriapoda) and woodlice, waterlice & intertidal isopods (the Isopoda) in Britain and Ireland.
Recording Schemes
The group is responsible for four National Recording Schemes: 1) centipedes; 2) millipedes; 3) woodlice & waterlice (which includes the terrestrial landhopper); and 4) intertidal marine isopods.
Species information
There is a page for each British and Irish species of centipede, millipede, woodlouse & waterlouse (including the terrestrial landhopper) and intertidal marine isopod. The aim is to include a brief account for each species, including distribution map, images, and identification hints.
Publications
The BMIG Newsletter is produced twice a year and the more formal BMIG Bulletin is published annually. Submission of articles likely to be of interest to British and Irish workers is encouraged.
Field Meetings
We hold an annual field meeting. All are welcome, beginners and experts alike. See Bursaries below.
BMIG Bursaries
BMIG Bursaries have been introduced to help towards the costs of attending the annual field meetings. More information here.
