Poecilus
versicolor  |
||
| A colourful ground beetle which frequents dry habitats and found commonly during warm days on Budby South Forest in April 2009. Poecilus versicolor is extremely similar to Poecilus cupreus and differences are subtle. Colouration is variable and we have found pure metallic bright green, through to copper coloured individuals. This beetle was recorded in the Sherwood Forest NNR area for the first time as recently as 2008, but this is the first record we have available for Budby and it is likely to have been recorded beforehand suring previous surveys. | ||
