Pint of Bass, Diet Coke, Orange Fruit Shoot and Dytiscus marginalis please
A surprise find on Saturday came in the form of a Great Diving Beetle. The surprise wasn't so much in the insect itself but the location. It was in the garden of The Bulls Head at Abbots Oak. It was dead but in pristine condition. I'm sure there must be ponds in the vicinity and on further investigation it appears that they do disperse and migrate from pond to pond. Quite an impressive looking thing though nevertheless........

I've picked a couple up this year in moth traps - not a regular event but over thea years I've seen c10 this way and zero in ponds.
