Oxytelus
laqueatus (Marsham, 1802)
|
|||
| One of the commonest Staphs to be found in Herbivore dung during the Spring and Summer months. With so many similar looking small species of Rove Beetle, we have frequently seen this beetle and not realised how distinctive it is when seen well. Despite the current Nottinghamshire distribution map showing just two sites, Oxytelus laqueatus is widespread across the county. Length 4mm. | |||
