Hello, Ive got a project from college and I need to find a list of the most common insects that you would find under rocks in a typical British garden. Does anyone know a list on the names of around 10 -15 insects? Such as slugs, ground beetles etc.....
Also if you know of any good websites journals on insects you could email me if you want jacknovak1988@hotmail.co.uk

Can I suggest this book as a good starting point for your research-
Small Woodland Creatures by Lars-Henrik Olsen, Jakob Sunesen and Bente Vita Pedersen.

Sorry, I wasn't meaning to be unkind. 
HOWEVER I do think better marks will be given if the student first understands that a slug is NOT an insect.

Yes, I was just wondering if the lecturer had given the wrong impression. Once again, apologies. Indeed, we are all here to learn.
