Agrilus sinuatus
Agrilus sinuatus is one of the Jewel Beetles (Buprestidae) and possibly uncommon, or more likely under-recorded in Nottinghamshire. The larval exit holes are shown here on their discovery in early March 2010. Agrilus sinuatus larvae feed on dead or dying Hawthorn, such as this Hawthorn on Penny Pasture Common at Eakring Meadows NR. Sherwood Forest had it's first record in 2009 (K. Alexander), and this may currently be one of very few sites for the beetle in Nottinghamshire. It is hoped to photograph the adults later in 2010.
