British Insects and their Geographical Distribution

[Theophilus]

Greetings !

I live near London (in Essex) and would be interested to know if any sources exist for the geographical distribution of British insects. I mean, I have available the names of all British insects but would like to know if their distribution has been mapped on, say,a county by county basis ? So that I can know, for example, the insects of Essex.

Is such information available as part of a multi volume survey of British Insects ?

Thanks for any help/suggestions.

There are a few books on the distribution in essex for specific groups ie. Dragonflies of essex. For other groups Ive seen some distribution maps in Essex naturalist journal

There are few here on the essex field club site Species surveys

And even more here
A-Z Species Index

Hope thats helpful

Simply dozens of atlases. Check the website of BRC for a current list. Also check the NBN Gateway.

Far too numerous to list all that is in print
