This is a
minute beetle, measuring just 2mm max in length. By
chance, our only record of this member of the Histeridae,
was when finding this Onthophilus striatus
upside down on our window ledge at home in Market Warsop.
This is a common species, but unless specifially sampled
for, is unlikely ever to be found in the field, due to
it's very small size. |
