Olibrus aeneus
A tiny (2mm) flower beetle, which is usually found on the flowers of grasses and Compositae flowers, such as Ox-eye Daisy. There are several species, of which Olibrus aeneus is perhaps one of the most easily distinguished, but identification is still difficult. Photographed at Warsop Main Pit Top in July 2009.
