Bitoma crenata
This is a tiny beetle, measuring around 2.5mm. Found mostly underneath bark, Bitoma crenata is easily overlooked. This beetle can be common at Clipstone Old Quarter near Edwinstowe, when groups can be found under the bark on Beech stumps, which are infected by fungus. There are several records for the Sherwood Forest NNR area.
