Microcara testacea
(Linnaeus, 1767)  |
||
| Recent records show Microcara testacea to be an uncommon beetle in Nottinghamshire, but there may well be an element of under-recording. It tends to favour sites with small bodies of poor water quality, which have a tendency to dry out. Such habitat was exactly where this one was found, by beating foliage at the entrance to Laxton Middle Wood in July 2020, where dry, shallow roadside ditch pools were present. | ||
