Item description from seller

Micro Ladybirds of Britain and Ireland?is a photo-based identification guide to these widespread but inconspicuous beetles._- Covers 25 species _- Illustrated with colour photographs throughout _- No specimen preparation needed __With around 50 resident species in Britain and Ireland, ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are among the most familiar of our native insects. Around half of these are the familiar ?macro ? ladybirds, but there is another half to the family, the ?micro? ladybirds, which are generally smaller and much less well-known and studied. This identification guide provides highly illustrated species accounts showing the characteristic features of each species. Additional plates emphasise critical characters and allow side-by-side comparison. Using this guide, almost every species can be identified from living ladybirds in the field. All you need is a _10 hand lens, which will reveal most of the structural features of importance. __Many micro ladybirds definitely live up to their alternative name of ?inconspicuous ladybirds? But once you know where to look, you should be able to find a good number of species close to home. Grassy places, ivy-covered trees, evergreen shrubs and needled pines are all good places to start. Standard insect sampling techniques, such as tree beating, sweeping, and vacuum sampling, are productive. Why not target a roadside Scots Pine, a stand of Reedmace around a pond or the shrubs surrounding a supermarket car park? Shrewsbury.
