Mycetochara humeralis  |
||
| This Mycetochara
humeralis was found by day on an Oak at Sherwood
Forest NNR. It is a scarce beetle with a national status
of Na (Nationally
Scarce Grade A. Recorded in 16-30 10km squares since 1980) and is often recorded under bark
and generally nocturnal. It's UK distribution is
predominantly confined to the south-east of the UK. This beetle was originally found at the end of June 2008, but remained frustratingly unidentified until the end of November the same year, before it's identification was finally determined. With having such distinctive markings, it was thought at the time of discovery to be an easy species to identify, but again proved that the internet still lacks images of many insects. |
