True Bugs of the London Area
A review of a rapidly changing fauna by Tristan Bantock
The Hemiptera (true bugs) are one of the major invertebrate groups found in Britain and include a number of larger and more distinctive representatives such as shieldbugs, which are increasingly popular with biological recorders. The last two decades have witnessed the addition of many new species to the British fauna and the majority of these have first appeared in the London area. This talk will provide an overview of these changes, focus on certain species in more detail and discuss the likely reasons behind London’s increasingly dynamic fauna.
