| A small
ground beetle of Nationally notable B status. Anthracus
consputus is usually found under stones near still
water, which is identical to the situation we recorded
the individual in the lower four photographs - found
under an old house brick by a long-established, shallow
puddle at the entrance to the former colliery at
Bevercotes Pit Wood in June 2017. The only other county
records, seems to be Adrian Dutton's record from Shelford
on 18/04/98, with another turning up at an MV light I was running at
Lound Wood in May 2024. Although the NBN lists five post-1992
records for Nottinghamshire, the grid references place
them in neighbouring counties of Leicestershire and
Lincolnshire. |
