Beetle News
Issue 1 of Beetle News featured a beginner's guide to the Silphidae such as this burying beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides. © Richard Wright
Beetle News is an exciting new publication for people interested in beetles.
Beetle News is a quarterly (March, June, September and December), online publication and less experienced amateurs are encouraged to contribute articles and observations that may not be suitable for more formal publications. Beetle News is not an AES publication (although the AES provides an online archive of issues) but a public domain publication by Richard Wright. Richard can be contacted at: richardwrightuk@yahoo.co.uk
