    very small beetles

    I found another species today, which I think might be Nephus quadrimaculatus. It was a mover and I didn't get as good photos as I would have liked. But I'd be interested to see if anyone agrees with my ID. (Assuming it's a ladybird at all!!) It was beaten from our garden hedge where I...

    very small beetles

    It's clearly not restricted to heather as we don't have any in our garden. I think it may have been on our hawthorn tree but it's hard to be sure as I was both sweeping and beating. Still waiting for confirmation from iRecord but hopefully it will make it onto the map. I find it interesting to...

    very small beetles

    very small beetles

    I wouldn't argue but I thought that ladybirds had clubbed antennae.

    very small beetles

    I took photos of two beetles, partly because I'm still hoping eventually to find one of the inconspicuous ladybirds. But I don't think that either of these are ladybirds. They were both roughly 2mms long. Can anyone help me at all with IDs? Even to genus would be a lot better than I can do. I...
