Large numbers of Harpalus rifipes in my traps here at Hollesley on 16th. Did you get them on the Brecks? Anyone else inundated? Did we ever get an ID on that small one that turned up in numbers?Raymond
Hello Raymond – I cannot say hand-on-heart they were this species but … yes … we did get more than our fair share of black beetles Saturday night. It was quite amusing watching them scurry for cover when packing the traps away!
I would say they were this species Paul. Not only did they hide round the traps but also disappeared down various shirts if I remember right! Some in my traps last night too.
