23 Ouse Bridge, King's Staith
Did you know?
University of York researchers have used the iconic Tansy beetle to explore important ecological processes and to establish a model system for future insect conservation.
In Britain Tansy beetles (Chrysolina graminis) are only found within 25km of York on the banks of the River Ouse, often feeding on the leaves of their favourite food, the tansy plant. Their beautiful iridescent green colouring has led to them being christened the ‘Jewel of York’.
