Targeting Revisits: new features added

The Targeting Revisits Maps are intended to help wildlife recorders make the most of their time out recording insects, by guiding people to where records are most needed to help assess changes in distribution. Maps are currently available for grasshoppers/bush-crickets, craneflies, soldierflies, ground beetles and ladybirds. NEW for this year: an option to view ‘Targets for Rediscovery’. These are the squares that have 4+ species recorded but haven’t had records for 10+ years. Are those species still present? Will new species be found? Add your records to iRecord and the Targeting Revisits Maps will be updated each day.
