As
the Luxembourgish Museum is the only national Museum of Natural
History in the border region between France, Belgium, Luxemburg
and Germany, one of its aims is to encourage and support cross-border
projects. In the beginning of 2000, Peter J. Neu, working
mainly on Trichoptera of Rhineland-Palatinate and Luxembourg,
had the idea of making an atlas of the Trichoptera of the
Moselle bassin which forms a clearly delimited geographical
unit. In the first meeting in february 2000 fourteen trichopterists
and other entomologists of all four countries met, showing
interest for the project. The aim is to collect in the database
of the Museum the already existing Trichoptera-datas of the
Moselle bassin and to fill the gaps in yet poorly investigated
sites of the region. The result will be in about 10 years
the german-french publication of an atlas of Trichoptera of
the Moselle bassin.
All interested entomologists are welcome to join the project.
Meetings take place two times a year (in the Museum of Natural
History in Luxembourg or in the field for collecting new datas).
