A few interesting (?) beetles
Posted: Mon Jun 25, 2012 3:49 pm
This year after a 5 year break I returned to field entomology working the flies. I also took collateral specimens of other orders swept that were unfamiliar to me or not something I'd often seen in Cheshire. These have/will be added to RODIS and include the following beetles:
Hylecoetus dermestoides female from Little Budworth Common (SJ584657) on 14 May 2012
Melasis buprestoides from Pettypool Brook (SJ625694) on 25 May 2012
Agapanthia villosoviridescens from the Newbridge area of the Vale Royal Cut opposite the salt mine (SJ654684) on 20 June 2012
All were single specimens and vouchers have been retained.
