Found this dead insect in long grass. Body 8mm long. I tried counting the number of antennal segments but even with a microscope I couldn't manage to separate them out.  |

Possibly Metylophorus nebulosus going by the key here, National Barkfly Recording Scheme
(Whatever you do don't take that suggestion as gospel I'm very good at getting these wrong  )

I'll agree with that Steve! A nice shot of this common one too, Peter. |

Thanks Gerel & Jason. I've not found this before.
That link is very good. Interesting to see that the NBN Gateway map has no records for my square - not that that means alot. But I wonder if it is worth submitting it to the scheme ? |

Hi Peter,
I've e-mailed Bob Saville who operates the Barkfly recording site about a few of these beasts now and he seems keen on getting as many records as possible, so I would think it is definitely worth contacting him.

Definately - I've done the same, Gerel - but I won't go on about having found the rarely-recorded B. quadrimaculatus though... 
The group as a whole are pretty under-recorded, so every record helps. Also give a grid ref., searching method used i.e. sweeping, hand-searching, habitat, etc., and perhaps include a photo too.

Jason | Have you mentioned that before Jason? It must have slipped my mind |
