In the UK the Tansy Beetle is primarily found on the banks of the river Ouse alongside the Tansy plant, the only plant it eats.
The downside of being reliant on one plant is that if the plant declines then so does the beetle. In order to try and reverse the decline Tansy Beetle Action Groups have been formed.
This board has information about the ecology of the area, especially how it affects the beetle and the plant, and also the work of the action groups.
