Shield Bugs
If anyone has any old records or photographs of any Shield bugs taken in Calderdale or see any this year and get a good photo, I would be very grateful if they pass the information on to me, Regards Andy
Billberry Shield Bug ,there are only 3 British records of this species one was taken from the Bradford/Halifax Moors in the late 1800's. It may well be still present.??

ReplyDeleteYou would be doing well to find the Bilberry SB No known records of recent deemed Extinct thats not to say its subsists why it went a mystery but likely Moorland Management practices played a big role
ReplyDeleteHeather Shieldbug is an under recorded find through out the UK
Cromwell hosts Green SB Forest SB , Gorse SB , Blue SB, Sloe SB, Hawthorn SB, Birch SB, Parent SB , Sedate SB, (in proximity) and recently another colony of Spiked SB
Bishop Mitre would find the Cromwell Grassland comfortable but is resticted to southern UK and midlands
