Topping up the garden pond tonight and loads of beetles began appearing from the mud and silt. 100s of Bembidion but also a few staphs. Platystethus alutaceus and Scopaeus sulcicollis were both new for me. #teambeetle #coleoptera

A new one for me. Rhyzopertha dominica. Landed on me this evening whilst eating my dinner al fresco. Best kind of beetling. #coleoptera #teambeetle

And I will be rooting for #TeamBeetle

Some of the 20 Maybugs that were in my moth trap this morning. They have been around a lot recently but this is definitely a peak count.

(There were moths too, although I haven't finished ID'ing them yet)

#RecordOfTheWeek today is the beetle Oedemera femoralis, spotted in Underwood by Dylan Lewis. This nocturnal species can be found nectaring on ivy and sometimes visits moth traps / other lights. Many thanks for the record and photo, submitted via the #LERCWalesApp

When you buy an insect cabinet, remember to factor in the small fortune it'll cost to fit it out with plastazote.
