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.
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 are the preferred method for verifying ladybird
species. They can be uploaded when you fill out the on-line recording form.
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.
