My first front cover.

[Deleted member 3428]

I got my first front cover I've heard today, not a glossy but for the March 2009 issue of the BRITISH JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY.
Hey it is a front cover none the less

 

[Just Dave]

Congrats Alby, could you post a pic of it when you get the mag

I'm a bit surprised it's the first but the floodgates will have opened now.

Thanks for the comments folks much appreciated. It is an image of a Barkfly (Stenopsocus immaculatus) which is tiny and you wouldn't even notice it unless someone pointed it out for you. Here is the image although I think it will be printed in B&W Stenopsocus immaculatus

I take photos for the national barkfly recording scheme and the co-ordinator for it has just wrote an article for them and they liked the image and asked if they could use it for their cover. It isn't a money making body just a society but it is in one of the fields I get a lot of enjoyment from so was only too happy to see it being used.


Thanks folks for all your kind comments I
