Scymnus suturalis
A member of the Coccinellidae group (Ladybirds) Scymnus suturalis is a tiny beetle. It is common on Scots Pine at Budby South Forest and is probably common throughout most of Nottinghamshire, wherever there are Pines. With a length little more than 1.75 - 2.25mm, this is less easily found by simple foliage searching methods, but beating the lower branches of Pines, usually reveals it's presence quite easily.
