Platyrhinus resinosus
...
One of the stragest looking beetles we have come across, with a distinctive head shape. It is one of only eight UK representatives of the Anthribidae family, which are usually associated with rotting wood and fungi. Some prey on scale insects and other small invertebrates. Three individuals have been found in the Eakring area to date and one at Nettleworth Manor near Mansfield Woodhouse. It remains scarce with few records from the Sherwood Forest NNR.
