Surveying for the Noble Tortoise Beetle with Buglife NI

Join Buglife Northern Ireland Conservation Officer, Hannah, and Entomologist, Adam Mantell, to learn more about the Noble Tortoise Beetle (Cassida Nobilis) and how you can help support its conservation.

This striking beetle with a golden, metallic, and often reflective shell, may have a distinctive appearance but it blends into its environment and is often overlooked as a result.

Can you help to monitor and increase records of this Northern Ireland priority species, which will in turn help us protect it and the places it calls home?

What can you expect?

• Learn how to identify and survey for the Noble Tortoise Beetle;
• Leave equipped with the knowledge and tools to continue surveying in your own time.

This event is open to anyone over the age of 18.

Please book your place via TryBooking. Limited spaces available.
