An the last beetle images from Torquay. All different specimens, any help appreciated. I believ image 1 is the Common Dor Beetle and image 2 may be Athous haemorrhoidalis

#3 looks like one I have which I have named Cerambycidae, Grammoptera ruficornis. #5 could be the same although I can't see any red on the hind femora.

Afternoon Seb,

The second is an Athous species of Click Beetle - but which I couldn't say. The third and last are the Cerambycid Grammoptera ruficornis.

Take care,

Jason

Hi,

#1 is Geotrupes (Anoplotrupes) stercorosus (I don't know the vernacular name in Britain, so maybe you're right, Sebastian)
#2 Athous haemorrhoidalis (so you're right, Sebastian)
#3 Janet and Jason are right
#4 Anaspis frontalis
#5 Janet and Jason are right again

Regards
Klaas

Thanks once again guys. I am slowly getting used to the more popular beetles now, although the 3rd and 5th image appeared as two different species to me...the untrained eye, I can see the resemblance now though!
