Onthophilus striatus
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.
