Syntomus foveatus  |
||
| A tiny ground beetle, size might be the reason why there are so few records of Syntomus foveatus for the Sherwood Forest NNR. We have found this very active beetle to be common on the heathland of Budby South Forest, but it is difficult to obtain any decent photographs. With a length of just 4mm, the best way to find this beetle, is to just watchn area of ground along one of the many tracks intersecting Budby. Patience usually pays dividends. The four accompanying photographs, were all of the same individual, showing how the angle of light, reflects the metallic colouration on the elytra. Photographed in late March 2011. | ||
