Poecilus
cupreus  |
||
| A colourful and common ground beetle (Carabidae), which frequents dry habitats. This adult was found in a very stony area of Warsop Main Pit Top in April 2009, along with the much more common and equally colourful Harpalus affinis. Although the photographs do show how colourful Poecilus cupreus is, they unfortunately do not show the beautiful copper colouring to the pronutum and elytra. This is a fairly large beetle, measuring around 12mm in length. | ||
