B.B.C. - Saving North Yorkshire's Tansy beetle from extinction

A breeding programme is being set up for a rare beetle which has been threatened with extinction.
The iridescent Tansy beetle only exists along a 28-mile stretch of the River Ouse in North Yorkshire.
It only eats a specific kind of plant and has an unfortunate habit of eating its own eggs.
