Jeremy Tatum writes: There have been no fresh postings to Invert Alert for several weeks. One of the problems relates to a problem in the current re-organization of the VNHS Website, which results in my not being able to edit or add to Invert Alert. It does not appear that there is likely soon to be any solution to the problem. Therefore, Charles Martin is attempting to open another “blog” for me, to be called Invertebrate Sightings Victoria, or, for short, Invertsight, of which this is the first such posting. It will not be part of the VNHS Website, and hence will presumably not be affected by the current re-organization of that site.

There is a large backlog of images and sightings that have been sent to me in recent weeks, and, until these have been cleared up, for most of them I shall label the photographs with only the name of the organism and the name of the photographer, with no further details. Once the backlog is over, I expect Invertsight will look very much like Invert Alert did. There will doubtless be a few glitches in the first few postings.

In order to submit photographs or records of sightings, just send them in the usual way to me at tatumjb at gmail dot com, using the usual symbols for “at” and “dot” (not used here for security reasons). If you just want to look at the site, type “invertsight.com” at the top of the screen.

Here, below, is the first batch of photographs. If all goes well, more of the backlog will follow in the next few days, after which Invertsight should begin to look just like Invert Alert did. Butterflies will be last – in a few days – with a bit more information than just the name of the photographer.
