Beetles at Keele

This list was last updated on June 17, 2010

This very brief list was put together by random searching using a sweep net, by examining bark on fallen trees and by sieving leaf litter. The dates are those of the first record.

Any further records would be most welcome. You can either contact me by E-Mail  or at Geography, Geology and the Environment, William Smith Building.
