| Often
referred to as Shiny Fungus Beetles, beetles of the Genus
Agathidium are small beetles with a distinct
appearance. Their preferred habitat is on and around tree
fungus, but their small size can mean they are difficult
to spot. Agathidium seminulum continues to be
known only from Sherwood Forest, with records in 1960 (Skidmore, P.); 1963 (Johnson, C.); 1978 (Hunter,
F.A.) and 2000 (Drane, A.B.). The latest record is of one found under
the bark of a long-dead Pine at Clipstone Old Quarter in
April 2018. |
