| A beautiful beetle, belonging to the Buprestidae group, known commonly as Jewel Beetles. Unfortunately, UK Jewel Beetles lack some of the fantastic colouration of some of those found on the continent. Agrilus biguttatus is the most regularly recorded Agrilus at Sherwood Forest NNR, but still a very difficult find. A large species measuring 11mm in length, It is found on Oak and the larvae bore into the bark of dying trees. The exit holes are shown in the lower two photographs, but have only been recorded on a handful of Oaks within the country park area to date. | ||
