Description

Beetle records held by KMBRC. Sourced from historical documents, card indexes, ecological surveys, and the recording activities of coleopterists, naturalists and the general public.

Purpose

The records are made up of species observations made by volunteers and submitted to Kent's Regional Recorders.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

These records have been checked as far as is possible by KMBRC. The data has been passed through the NBN Record Cleaner and cleansed of all date and spatial reference errors. The data is mostly from reknowned local entomologists and some national specialists and so their determinations are presumed to be good.

Method steps

Various standard entomological methods and casual observations.

Taxonomic Coverages

Geographic Coverages

Largely Kent, though records from Kent recorders visiting other counties are included.
