Rhyzobius litura
Another very small beetle of the Coccinellidae group (Ladybirds) From the numerous adults we have found, Rhyzobius litura seems to measure only around 2.5 - 3mm at maximum. Probably the only way to find this beetle, is by beating the lower branches of trees and shrubs or by sweep netting. The one photographed, was found on Pine at Warsop Main Pit Top in early August 2009.
