Nebrioporus depressus
A small water beetle, this Nebrioporus depressus was found in shallow water at Budby Pumping Station in July 2010. This is a well marked species, but there are several others that are similarly marked and identification is difficult. Although water beetles are obviously an under-recorded group, Nebrioporus depressus seems scarce across the UK.
