Competition Corner (1): Save the frogs and don't forget the local ladybirds

Here is an unusual poetry competition to highlight the plight of the frog. The deadline is 4 May 2009. There is also an art contest, too. For those of you who prefer ladybirds, there are some amazing photographs from all over Australia on the Catalyst Survey Gallery. Sadly our local ladybirds are under threat. The invading Harlequin has been sighted in Wales. The Telegraph reports that Britain's rarest spider, the ladybird spider, is alive and well; but this is no cause for complacency.
