...
Ampedus pomorum is a brightly coloured click beetle and is probably found largely in the Sherwood Forest area, where this one was discovered resting on Nettles underneath an old Birch tree in May 2007. The red and black Ampedus click beetles are a difficult group to tell apart, but the red on A. pomorum can often be less intense than on A. quercicola and others, though this is not a 100% ID feature.
