Cartodere bifasciata
This is a minute beetle, measuring little more than 2mm in length. Cartodere bifasciata is probably a difficult species to find in the field, but it has been recorded during surveys at Sherwood Forest on quite a few occasions over the years. This one however, was found on our car at Budby South Forest on a warm April afternoon in 2010.
