Cornish Insects

[Hazel Ryan]

Does anyone have a list of insects found in Cornwall - especially in the China Clay Country Park area (Whealmartin, St Austell). Many thanks Hazel

I haven't seen that Judy Woods site before. It is worth noting for future reference and ID.

There is an official Recorder of Cornish Wildlife somewhere. I have checked out some details before, as I am nearby in S. Devon. But I can't remember their address right now.

Thanks Duncan, some great images too. I am now on the case best wishes Hazel

Thanks too Geoff - I am really interested in finding this Official Recorder of Cornish Wildlife. Will try and google search. Best wishes Hazel

ps. You could try The Environmental Records Centre for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly | Homepage

Not the official county recorder, but it does look interesting.
