Crepidodera fulvicornis (Fabricius, 1792)
A small leaf beetle, which is found on a range of deciduous trees, but most often Willows etc. They jump readily if disturbed and there are several similar species which make any potential identification difficult from photographs. The ones illustrated were found on Aspen, at the site of the former Bevercotes Colliery in August 2026, by Nick and Samantha Brownely. Across Nottinghamshire, most records come from the western part of the county, but it is probably found widely everywhere.
