Orthoptera (Grasshoppers, Crickets and Allies).

Geographic Description

The records cover Bedfordshire and Luton (predominantly vice-county 30).

Uneven coverage of Bedfordshire and Luton as a result of casual recording, with some observer preference for location. Some systematic surveying has also occurred throughout the recent decades.

1416 records have a 100m grid reference; 20 have 1km; 9 have 2km.

Purpose

To record the Orthoptera within Bedfordshire and Luton. This digital dataset was created by the BRMC (the data provider) by digitizing paper records passed to it from the estate of Beryl (E.B.R.) Ran

Data quality

Observations were verified by the County Recorder for Orthoptera. Although some unintentional inaccuracies may be present, none are currently known.

Methods

A mixture of casual field observations and systematic surveys.

The majority of records were provided by amateur naturalists who are members of the Bedfordshire Natural History Society (BNHS).
