Water Beetles of Cheshire Book


Improving access to invertebrate data and recording resources is a key aim of the Tanyptera Project. By supporting the production of invertebrate publications, we help make specialist knowledge and records more accessible, supporting future recording, research and conservation.

In 2019, Tanyptera provided assistance to Steve Judd, Senior Curator of Entomology, with editing of this 129 page paperback Water Beetle Atlas by Johnathan Guest and Andy Harmer, which authoritatively summarises the presence of all species recorded in Cheshire past and present. All new maps were designed and produced by Tanyptera as well as additional specimen photos and adding some new set specimen photos. The project also covered the costs of printing 100 copies, which have virtually sold out.

The last few copies are available to buy on the National Museums Liverpool Online Shop RRP £10
