Glischrochilus hortensis
Glischrochilus hortensis is one of three species of Glischrochilus beetles found in the UK. These are small beetles (around 5mm in length) and often found near exuding tree sap. Having said that, three of these were found at night in late April 2009, all underneath the fungus Birch Polypore in Sherwood Forest CP. This beetle was first recorded from Sherwood Forest in 1998, but seems quite common at many sites, even turning up on our window in Market Warsop.
