Description


Thanks for viewing !! :o) - Pyrochroa serraticornis ( Red-headed Cardinal Beetle ) Length 14mm So-called because of scarlet colour of head, thorax and abdomen. Adults are seen from May till July and often found under flaking bark or in rotting timber; in sunny weather also visits flowers to hunt for small insects. Carnivorous larva lives in rotting wood. Have an awesome day !! :) Btw. does someone care for an extra-large image of the dragon i uploaded the past two days ? - Thanks for all your wonderful comments on my last upload, "Same Dragon... Different Angle" !! -- Many thanks, Jeroen
