Bloodsucker beetles (not really)

14 August 2019 by David

Bloodsucker beetles (not really)

Bloodsuckers (not really what they feed on). also called common red soldier beetles (Rhagonycha fulva). Late last month, every umbellifer flower head I looked at in the Barley Field seemed to have some of them feeding along with other insects.
