Stenolophus mixtus
A distinctive ground beetle (Carabidae) which has a widespread distribution in the UK. Stenolophus mixtus typically favours edges of standing water and this one was found in such a situation at Warsop Main Pit Top in April 2010. This was one of the most active and difficult species we have tried to photograph. Length around 7mm.
