Margarinotus brunneus (Fabricius, 1775) | ||
The Histeridae are a notoriously difficult group of beetles to ID. Most are very similar and shiny black in colour. They are commonly found in horse and cattle dung and have a habit of withdrawing their appendages close to the body. This Margarinotus brunneus was found under carrion at Clipstone Old Quarter in late April 2009, along with numbers of Hister unicolor. | ||
