Synopsis:

• Identification guide to 45 shieldbugs and leatherbugs from Britain and Ireland
• No special equipment needed - identify living insects in the field
• Designed to be used outside: lightweight, rucksack-sized, splash-proof

WildID Shieldbugs features colour photographs of 45 shieldbugs and leatherbugs from Britain and Ireland.

Although not as well known as butterflies, bees and ladybirds, shieldbugs are a spectacular group of insects. But in many counties there are relatively few records, so even novice naturalists can make new discoveries. Many species are common in gardens or habitats like hedgerows, scrub and woodland.

This guide features colour photographs of the adults of all species, plus late instar nymphs where distinctive. Accompanying text covers key identification characters, including body structure, colours, habitat, rarity and range.
