In my home just now.
Is this a Lacewing? I thought they were green. This one is brown.
Beautiful creature about 1cm long body. It’s long antenna splay out nearly as long as its body.
There are shadows as it’s in electric light on a cream wall.

Amongst the many different Ground Beetles is a genus called Poecilus which stands out through their metallic colours. There are 4 different species in the UK which look very similar.

The Springtail-stalker , Notiophilus sp ,is a type of ground beetle which hunts springtails in the leaf litter and moss. There are 8 species which look all very similar. We also found a larva which we think is a Notiophilus larva. #WildlifeUK , #NatureUK , #InvertebratesUK , #InsectsUK , #BeetlesUK

Found a few of these on the house wall (Bridgwater/Somerset). They seem to be empty so I wondered if they were parasitised? Any idea on what type of caterpillar and/or parasite? #WildlifeUK , #NatureUK , #InvertebratesUK , #InsectsUK , #CaterpillarsUK, #MothsUK , #ParasitesUK

High fertiliser use halves numbers of pollinators, world’s longest study finds Even average use of nitrogen fertilisers cut flower numbers fivefold and halved pollinating insects

This is another species of Dung beetle, most likely Aphodius sphacelatus. Dung beetle are also known as dwellers, because the larvae live and feed within the dung pat itself. #NatureUK , #WildlifeUK , #InsectsUK , #InvertebratesUK , #BeetlesUK , #Beetles , #Wildlife , #Insects , #Invertebrates
