Ladybird Beetle Records in Belgium with Habitat and Substrate Data
Belgian territory is covered by a dataset of approximately 80,000 records of ladybird beetles (Coccinellidae). The data, maintained by the Belgian Ladybird Working Group Coccinula, originates from a merge of four regional databases, museum collections, and literature, with records dating from 1800 onward. Collection events include species, counts, life stage, date, location, and habitat details, with geographic coverage for at least 85% of 5x5km UTM grid cells in Belgium.
