| An
extremely attractive but small beetle, Anthocomus fasciatus is
just about at the northern limit of its UK range in Nottinghamshire. It
is found at well vegetated sites and there are a number of records along
the Severn and Trent Valleys through the Midlands. There are a number of
recent records for Leicestershire
(per NatureSpot) but we know
of just three from Nottinghamshire. The one pictured, was found and
photographed by Tim Sexton, at the NWT's Attenborough NR in early May
2019, but Tim has also recorded this beetle at his Attenborough home in
April 2025. |
