Pterostichus madidus (Fabricius, 1775) | ||
Pterostichus madidus is a large and common ground beetle, measuring around 17mm long. It is often found under stones or logs in a wide variety of habitats, with the one pictures being found in recent years at Sherwood Forest CP and in a cemetery at Church Warsop. This beetle regularly occurs in gardens and is one of several species that used to be locally known as 'Rain Beetles', due to often appearing on garden paths after rain. | ||
