| This fairly large Aphodius was found in Horse dung at Clipstone Old Quarter, part of the Sherwood Forest NNR, in early April 2009. It's identity was confirmed as being Aphodius ater, the first time we have recorded this species. Quite a distinctive Aphodius through size and alone, with a length of 6mm in the one photographed. Occasionally, some specimens are found with a dull reddish colouration to the elytra. | |||
