About the event

Explore the world of beetles, one of the most diverse orders insects; from ladybirds to longhorns, ground-beetles to diving beetles, what are they and how they live. After a general introduction to their ecology and behaviour, we will aim to recognise the most diverse and frequent families  - rove-beetles, ground-beetles, weevils and leaf-beetles  -  and to try identifying some groups to species level.  The day will also offer tips on how to get to know beetles more deeply, which families to approach first, and review the available literature and websites.
