Sending us records
The easiest way to submit records of harlequin
ladybirds you have spotted is to do so using
our on-line
recording form. Instructions for submitting any digital photographs on-line are provided after sending this record.
Alternatively, we have a recording
form in Word format available if you prefer.
You can send records on paper to the following
address:
Ladybird Research Group,
University of Cambridge,
219d Huntingdon Road,
Cambridge CB3 0DL. |

Verifying your records
Digital photographs can be submitted by email and are the preferred method for verifying ladybird species. You will be given an email address and reference number when you have submitted a record online. The reference number will be specific to that record.
Live specimens from some parts of the UK may be sent as an alternative, although photos are preferred and result in a faster response to you. Due to the fantastic response of the public to our survey, we no longer require specimens from the following areas: London and south-east England, East Anglia, the Midlands, Hampshire, Dorset and south Devon. However, we welcome specimens from other areas, if a photograph is not available.
Specimens should be sent to the address given on the left. You can put them in something like a camera film canister or other sturdy box. Do not include food or water, just a few bits of paper to protect specimens from buffeting. |
