| | | Click beetle?
Hello all - here's one I missed from yesterday. I presume this is one of the so called 'click' beetles? Can anyone narrow it down any further from one photograph?   |

Morning Jez!
I reckon an Athous species of some kind, the most likely species is Athous haemorrhoidalis

I had read somewhere that Athous haemorrhoidalis was the commonest of the click beetles, so I half expected it to be that ... thanks to both of you for your replies! |

Hi,
the knowledge of its rarity is one step to get to know the species. Problem is, that Murphy's law (do you write it this way?) always has some paragraphs that make it difficult by only looking at this point. 
Regards
Klaas
