The last presentation of the day was given by David Clements, who described an on-going project funded by the Countryside Council for Wales and English Nature to investigate the biology and breeding requirements of the hornet robberfly, Asiliis crabroniformis L. This formerly widespread species has suffered a widespread and rapid decline over the whole of its European range, and is consequently a UK BAP 'Short List' species.
