About the event

Ladybirds and Shieldbugs are a great introduction to insects. They are attractive insects that tend not to run or fly off when you find them and so are easy to photograph and to try to identify. Middleton NR has varied habitats for us to explore and participants will be given handouts on these two groups of insects and our very informal walk will look for as many of them as we can find. With many pairs of eyes looking, we hope to find a good number of species as well as any other insects we come across.

Try coming on our easy-going walks. Hear about the wildlife we see, do some wildlife photography or simply enjoy some like-minded company. No knowledge or experience necessary. Everyone very welcome. For more information or in the case of doubtful weather do contact us (robszsz@yahoo.co.uk). Check our website for any late details - https://www.nlwg.org.uk. Suitable outdoor clothing and footwear are strongly recommended. Most are easy walks but one or two may be more demanding - please enquire if you have any questions. Bring water and, for all-day events, a packed lunch. There is no charge but donations are always welcome. Meeting place given by GR - Grid Reference; w3w - what3words.
