This #MothersDay , we want to give a shout out to all the incredible Burying beetle mums out there, working hard to protect and rear their offspring.

From preparing the carcass, to regurgitating pre-digested flesh to the larvae - they are exceptional parents! ☺️

Longhorn beetle in the garden earlier! I think it might be a Stictoleptura rubra.

Aromia moschata remains a rare longhorn beetle in Scotland so it was fantastic to find three on Angelica in fen woodland at Glenlee (VC73) this week - a very large and impressive creature Longhorn RS SWSEIC

A Spotted Longhorn beetle (rutpela maculata) seen at Highnam Woods today. So many Peacocks + Red Admirals present. I think it's the most Red Admirals ive counted at the woods since ive been doing the transect. RSPB Butterfly Conservation 🦋 𝙱𝙲 𝙶𝚕𝚘𝚞𝚌𝚎𝚜𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚜𝚑𝚒𝚛𝚎 Longhorn RS RecordWildlife

Quite a number of Stictoleptura rubra in the Kings Forest (West Stow) last week. Mostly all male but one female landed on a rotten fallen tree and disappeared into the trunk before I could get a photo! Longhorn RS

My partner snapped this pic at the weekend and didn't want to post it herself, not being overly keen on the social platforms. She gave permission for me to post it instead.

Leptura quadrifasciata and a Common Lizard.

On a very nice trip to Otmoor today where I came across not one but two new (for me) longhorn beetles, firstly this very lovely Rutpela maculata RSPB Otmoor Longhorn RS

And secondly, one that I’ve always hoped to see, the amazing Golden-bloomed Grey Longhorn, Agapanthia villosoviridescens RSPB Otmoor Longhorn RS

Will be doing my best to keep on top of this account in the next few months but time is very limited atm, same for verifying records. Apologies in advance for slow / few and far in between responses. Will be hopefully bringing someone into the fold over winter to help
