Hi Everyone

[Columbine]

Hello from another newbie. This is certainly a busy place!
I am in the Lakes and I found the forum as I was trying to identify a beetle I have photographed.
I am trying to create a wildlife area so looking forward to picking the brains of all you knowledgeable people out there.

I'm sure you'll get an answer on your beetle Columbine. Welcome to WAB

[Columbine]

Thanks for your welcome Treecreeper. I have posted it in the insect forum so I am sure some one will know, it's probably something really common but I just couldn't find exactly the same one in my books.

Hi Columbine and welcome to WAB, not much of my brain left to pick I'm afraid, but there are lots of knowledgable people on here who have all the answers, so ask away.
