Feel rather embarassed  to be asking this, given the excellent English on this site displayed by so many people from so many countries, but could someone help me with a translation of this excerpt from a German key to lacewings:"Sehr markant Spezies; durch die im [the key] angegebenen Merkmale auch eidonomisch stets problemlos zu identifizieren" It is the word "eidonomisch" that we are particularly struggling with. Many thanks, Martin Martin Harvey Get help with UK wildlife identification: http://www.ispot.... |

Thanks for your help everyone, and congratulations to Uncle Kahis (it's okay, I didn't have to spend a very long time looking up the definition of "cleified" before I realised what was going on !) Martin Martin Harvey Get help with UK wildlife identification: http://www.ispot.... |
