| Phloiotrya vaudoueri |
||
| This nocturnal beetle seems quite common in Sherwood Forest. It was found by torchlight on log piles and came to light during a moth trapping session at the Major Oak on one occasion in July. Males were found to be smaller than females, which reach a length of around 10mm. P. vaudoueri belongs to the Melandryidae family and is distinctive alone, by both shape and posture, with the head tucked below the pronutum. | ||
