While @dipteristsforum.bsky.social field meeting is in theory to collect flies, it’s proved to be a great trip for @carrionbeetlesuk.bsky.social! Along with Phosphuga atrata and Oiceoptoma thoracicum managed to find our first, hopefully, Nicrophorus vespilloides #entomology #diptera #coleoptera

Silpha tristis on my walk y'day morning. A new beetle for me! This is the best photo I got, as it was moving so fast. I was on the phone with my friend from Exmoor when I noticed it and had to put him on hold!

Dear moth trappers, don’t forget to record your #MothTrapIntruders - we’ll be eternally grateful. 🖤
Nicrophorus humator from the trap in Filton this morning. I regularly see them on Exmoor, but not here.

Failed attempt to film a Black Sexton Beetle flying out of the trap, you can hear my absolute disgust when it bumped into me 😂 (sorry @ashwhiffin.bsky.social & @carrionbeetlesuk.bsky.social, they are just so stinky)

Common Snail hunters are on the prowl once more! Sorry snails! 🐌
The path on which we saw our first Black Oil Beetle was also haunt of these two. The first is Phosphuga atrata, Black Snail Beetle. Nice to see one on the move. The second is the larva of a Devil’s Coach Horse, Ocypus olens.

A burying beetle, Nicrophorus investigator. They’re often attracted to the garden by light and, unlike most of them, this one stopped for a few seconds before disappearing into the lawn. Just enough time for some pics.

Enjoyed a quick poke around some magnificent old oaks this morning. Was rewarded by a single smart Phosphuga atrata.
Hope to be back in search of some woody specialists soon. And moths, obvs.
