BEETLE ID?

Post by millerd »

I came across this rather splendid beetle this morning on my local patch near Heathrow.

Any ideas what it might be? It's not one I've met before.

Cheers,

Hi Dave,

I think it's Rutpela maculata.

Regards,
Nigel

Thank you both - I shall add it to my collection of "other invertebrates encountered whilst looking for butterflies"!
