Pediacus dermestoides
Pediacus dermestoides is a small beetle, belonging to the Cucujidae (Flat Bark Beetles) family. They are all fairly small at around 5mm and as their common name implies, found underneath the bark of trees and logs. They are extremely slender and able to get underneath the tightest bark. P. dermestoides is the only member of the family, known to occur in Sherwood Forest. This one was found at Clipstone Old Quarter in early March 2009.
