Gardens are often crawling with all kinds of garden bugs, and even
the smallest plot can be an important haven for wildlife. But can
you distinguish between a Garden Snail and a Strawberry Snail? Or
can you tell a False Widow Spider from a Harvestman? These are just
some of the more than 2,000 different species of garden bugs that
are found in the British Isles, many of which we depend on for our
own survival. RSPB ID Spotlight Garden Bugs is a reliable fold-out
chart that presents illustrations of more than 50 of our most
widespread and familiar garden bugs by renowned artist Richard
Lewington. - Species are grouped by family and helpfully labelled
to assist with identification - Artworks are shown side-by-side for
quick comparison and easy reference at home or in the field - The
reverse of the chart provides information on the habitats,
behaviour, life cycles and diets of our garden bugs, as well as the
conservation issues they are facing and how the RSPB and other
conservation charities are working to support them - Practical tips
on bug houses and implementing wildlife-friendly garden practices
are also included The ID Spotlight charts help wildlife enthusiasts
identify and learn more about our most common species using
accurate colour illustrations and informative, accessible text.
