Scratchpads based projects

This page lists all of the Scratchpads based projects that I have been involved with.

Title Body

Phasmid Study Group Website

Developing and maintaining the Phasmid study Group website, a comprehensive website covering everything to do with stick and leaf insects.

On taking over development of the site I moved it to the EDIT Scratchpads system which has allowed me to develop a much larger and comprehensive site.

Will include a taxonomic and specimen databse of the chrysidid subfamilies Amiseginae and Loboscelidiinae and host-parasite or host-parasitoid information for all hymenoptera species attacking phasmids.
