Enochrus testaceus (Fabricius, 1801)
Found widely across Nottinghamshire, with most records shown on the distribution map being the result of the recording work of Bob Merritt. As with many beetles, there are always several similar species to make any ID difficult. The top two photographs show a beetle, taken from a well vegetated colliery tank at Bevercotes Pit Wood in May 2013.
