Meligethes
atratus (Stephens,
1830) ![]() |

Just one of numerous pollen beetles, Meligethes atratus is fairly common over much of the southern UK, but has been rarely found in Nottinghamshire. This may just be down to these being very difficult beetles to identify with any degree of accuracy in the field. The adults appear in early Spring and can be found on the flowers of Hawthorn and similar flowering shrubs. | ||
