Over 400 beetle species are only found in or near water in Britain. Many species will not be found by traditional pond-dipping. We’ll review the possibilities using examples from all over the British Isles, but with an eye for what might be found in North-West England.

Tutor info: Garth Foster has run the water beetle recording scheme since 1979 and claims it to be the oldest arthropod recording scheme in the world, started in 1946, beaten only by flowering plants and molluscs.

Garth will give a presentation followed by an interactive question and answer session.
