Malthinus
flaveolus  |
||
| Malthinus flaveolus is one of the smallest of the Cantharidae group. There are about 40 species of Soldier Beetles in the UK and most are frequent visitors to thistles and umbelliferous flowers. With such a small size, this is a difficult species to find, but they are occasionally attracted to MV light traps. The one pictured, was attracted to an MV light trap at Clipstone Old Quarter in early June 2011. | ||
