Platyrhinus resinosus (Scopoli, 1763) | ||
A striking species and one of just eight Anthribidae found in the UK. Platyrhinus resinosus feeds on the fungus Daldinia concentrica, more usually known as King Alfred's Cakes, which is a common fungi of old and poor condition Ash trees. Fairly widespread across much of Nottinghamshire with a trend for records along the Trent Valley, this species should be looked for anywhere there is Ash. | ||
