SPECIES NOT RECORDED 

 FROM WILTSHIRE 



Hippodamia tredecimpunctata (L). Thirteen spot 

 ladybird. An immigrant from the continent, and most 

 records, all of which are old, have been close to the south 

 coast. Majerus, M.N., Forge, H., and Walker, L., 1990, 

 express the view that although the beetle was probably 

 extinct in Britain at the time they were writing, it might 

 very well establish itself here in the future. 



Coccinella hieroglyphica L.. Hieroglyphic ladybird. 

 Confined to heather heathland and only likely to be found, 

 if at all, in the far south of the county.
