Pterostichus niger (Schaller, 1783) | ||
Pterostichus niger is a large and common ground beetle, easily measuring to 20mm long. It is often found under logs, although the adults we found at Sherwood Forest, were all found under recently felled/placed logs. P. niger is entirely black and shiny, with the claws and tibial spines being red. | ||
