To create a field guide for the Lady Beetles of Europe.
Lady Beetles are colorful, friendly insects which makes them fun to discover, also for children. They are excited about every ladybug they find and don't get bored and just start looking for something "different".
You could even make a contest out of it to find the most different species in your own backyard.
Organize a field trip wherein you go searching for Lady Beetles. Afterwards we will ask you to submit what species and how many Lady Beetles you found on your trip, preferably accompanied by some pictures and habitat info. The field trip should take place somewhere between May and August. 
As an institution it's possible you have knowledge and even databases that are not publicly available for the time being. Of Course we would appreciate all contributions to our project in terms of knowledge and data.
