Thought you might like a look at this little dazzler. She crossed my path on an area of chalk downland today.
I know very little about these great beetles so any info would be gratefully received.

It's fairly widespread but another article I've dipped into said, widespread but local. I think the habitat is important. Chalk area,with a supply of snails, and grass all feature.
I'm going to see if there's a night-walk that we can do to see them glow!
