Salpingus
ruficollis (Linnaeus, 1761) ![]() |
||
This small beetle is probably fairly common around the Sherwood Forest area, yet it's diminutive size (3.75mm) makes it a difficult find. There is another very similar species, but ID is quite easy in comparison between the two. We found three adult Salpingus ruficollis on a dead Birch tree after dark in mid-October 2009, these being the first at Sherwood Forest CP since 1998. | ||
