Graham you may be better off posting this in the main insect forum where it's more likely to get seen by one of the beetle experts like Klaas. It's one of the carabids. |

Hi,
this is genus Harpalus, but the photo is to small to say any more for sure. Possibly subgenus Pseudoophonus and therefor Harpalus rufipes or the very similar Harpalus griseus. But it even can be Harpalus rubripes, female (it is a female). Do you have any bigger photos?
Regards
Klaas

graham | Interesting, not saying it is this species...but, H. griseus has been taken at light traps down your way. Quote: |
Martin Luff. Only known from recent captures at light traps in south London; possibly migrant and not established.
| If you get anymore do get someone to have a look at it.
