Amara
plebeja  |
||
| A common ground beetle (Carabidae), generally frequenting moist, well vegetated habitats. There are several other similarly coloured species, which are a difficult group to identify, but Amara plebeja can be identified by the three-pronged tibial spur on the front legs, which unfortunately cannot be seen in the accompanying photographs. The one in the photographs below, was found at Clipstone Old Quarter in April 2009 and appears to be the first record for Sherwood Forest. | ||
