The Coleopterist - Where to Find Beetles county index

Where To Find Beetles To species index
County index This is a county-by-county guide to finding rare, endemic, and newly recorded Coleoptera in the British Isles. Some species are included even if they have not been found for many years, in the hope that coleopterists will try and refind these species in places where they just might still occur. When looking for beetles, please obey the following code of practice: follow the Country Code be selective and discreet while searching for beetles and do not leave a trail of damaged habitat behind you - such behaviour gives coleopterists a bad name in the eyes of other naturalists as well as the general public always obtain the permission of the landowner before visiting a site to which there is not public access consider carefully whether you need to collect specimens, and instead try to identify as many species as possible in the field or take photographs familiarize yourself with the list of species which are protected under the Wildlife & Countryside Act and may not be collected if you need to collect voucher specimens it is very important to seek and obtain permission from the landowner beforehand, including for land open to the public if you think you have discovered a rare species, then always consider carefully the conservation needs of the species - under no circumstances should you collect long series of rare or threatened species whenever possible send your records to the appropriate county recorder and/or national recording scheme Please e-mail information about finding beetles in your area, or any updates and corrections, to Andrew Duff ().
