The locally common beetle Scaphidium quadrimaculatum, found & photographed by Sarah Arnold at last week's Kent Field Club meeting on the St Ronan's School estate near Hawkhurst. A species associated with dead timber in woodland and parkland. #beetles #kentnature
A huge THANK YOU to @coast2coastbeetles on Instagram!!! I recently was one of the winners in their beetle contest and got this BEAUTIFUL beetle today! I love her! She's a derby flower beetle.

Weevils on tap. Ok, just the one, though others were enjoying the rest of the garden. Polydrusus species we think.

The apparently rather local beetle Drilus flavescens swept from the front garden today. #kentnature #beetles #gardenwildlife
The black-headed cardinal beetle is one of the few #beetles, that I still encounter every summer. The loss of #insects is dramatic, but barely gets any attention from the general public.

It seems that everyone bar us saw the aurora last night, but we did see this mini one at Holkham. Bordered Tortoise Beetle, Cassida vittata, on top of a post.

A lovely surprise on my walk this morning. Clytus arietis, the Wasp Beetle, soaking up the sun’s warmth.

On a grass stem, a Red-headed Cardinal Beetle, Pyrochroa serraticornis, giving me a sideways look.

After a very busy day on Friday, I spent the weekend recovering. We now return to mostly regular #Macrophotography posts with some #BUGSEX! These frisky June #beetles are believed to be genus #Plectris😂 The first shot is a focus stack.
#Coleoptera

In case you were confused.

Platyrhinus resinosus (Cramp-ball Fungus Weevil) on piece of standing dead wood in the garden this week. Dead wood is dead good. #kentwildlife #weevils #beetles
Aagh and another big expense on the horizon. Heard the telltale sound of a deathwatch beetle. I love old houses but don't love the maintenance. Now I need to find a reliable pest controller #beetles #FrenchHouses
Acorn weevil, Curculio glandium. In the southern part of Germany we are in the middle of the acorn weevil season. Now i can see these little beetles with long snouts everywhere in the garden.

Feeding day for my pet Blue Death Feigning Beetles (Asbolus verrucosus). We have settled into a routine that brings me joy & also is fairly reliable. The fish flakes or organic shredded carrots (or both) bring the beetles out within minutes of me adding to the enclosure.

I saved this Pales Weevil (Hylobius pales) from being eaten by Pearl and brought it outside on a sheet of scrap paper. It may not last any longer outside but at least I don’t have watch Pearl stomping on it.

It’s a #FencePostWildlife doubler. A Phratora vulgatissima (Blue Willow Beetle) pair enjoying the view.

Although looking as though it’s about to jump, this tiny Potato Flea Beetle, Psylliodes affinis, decided to tale a leisurely stroll down the back of the post.

It was a rainy day. The white balance in picture 1 was set to "fluorescent".

What a gorgeous creature the Rose Chafer is, shining like a precious jewel in the afternoon sun. A welcome visitor to our garden.

Say hi to these Mecynorrhina Torquata beetle larvae! They're CHONKY af.
Now they'll be in a box for months until they grow, pupate and beetleify themselves, then I get (hopefully) two pretty beetles into my terra! 🪲🪲

Another #FencePostWildlife creature. One of the two Water Ladybirds that we saw recently. Anisosticta novemdecimpunctata, such a long name for such a small beetle.
