Bug Assemblages Webinar with Jim Flanagan & Tristan Bantock

This webinar will look at a range of habitats where terrestrial Heteroptera bugs form a major component of the invertebrate fauna, as well as those species which are representative of the habitats that they occur in. Terrestrial Heteroptera bugs are very useful ecological indicators, especially in combination with other plant-feeding groups such as weevils and leaf beetles, but are often overlooked amongst larger and more conspicuous groups of invertebrates. Many are distinctive and easy to record on sight and a good photo is often all that is needed for some. The bugs that occur in habitats such as heathland and moorland, fen, reedbed and marsh, a range of grasslands, brownfield, scrub, coniferous trees and shrubs and some coastal habitats will be covered. The aim is to help raise knowledge and awareness of the kinds of species that occur in these habitats and to help recorders submit more reliable records of their sightings to iRecord.Jim Flanagan &amp; Tristan Bantock run the two national recording schemes for terrestrial Heteropteran bugs.Please book your space via Eventbrite and you will be sent information on how to join the webinar.This session will run on Zoom.
