Fairly widespread in Nottinghamshire with a scattering of recent
records. Anobium punctatum is one of several similar species
and is a notoriously more well known than many would imagine. Often
commonly called the Woodworm, it is infamous for its boring larva
creating galleries within furniture, before finally emerging as an
adult. The adults are not often encountered outdoors, but can be beaten
from a range of trees and woody shrubs. The ones below, were beaten from
Box (Buxus sempervirens) and Ivy (Hedera helix) at
Lambley Cemetery in June 2020. Identification is best done by examining
a specimen under the microscope. |
