RSPB Spotlight: Ladybirds is packed with eye-catching, informative
colour photos, and features succinct, detailed text written by a
knowledgeable naturalist. Brightly coloured and pleasingly
pattered, ladybirds are among some of our most beloved and familiar
invertebrates. Their role in helping to protect our crops by
devouring huge numbers of pests has firmly established these tiny,
flying beetles as the gardeners' friend. Spotlight Ladybird focuses
on the 26 species that are resident in the UK, from the widespread
but unusual Orange Ladybird to the rare - and aptly named - Scarce
7-spot Ladybird. Ladybird expert, Richard Comont considers the
conservation challenges facing these iconic species, whose
populations are now at risk thanks to the threat posed by one of
their own, the invasive alien Harlequin Ladybird. And he covers all
aspects of ladybirds' biology, from tiny larvae emerging from their
oval eggs to large aggregations that converge at specific sites
around the world. Richard also examines the natural history and
cultural significance of this fascinating group of beetles, from
Ladybird Books to Thor. The Spotlight series introduces readers to
the lives of our favourite animals with eye-catching colour photos
and informative expert text.
