The
attractive Red-headed Cardinal Beetle Pyrochroa
serraticornis is the most abundant member of
the family Pyrochroidae in the UK, and it is
most likely to be encountered on the margins of deciduous woodlands, so it is
well worth examining the vegetation growing alongside woodland paths when searching
for this species. These insects are very active on bright, sunny summer days,
and they will fly readily. The beetle is easily distinguishable from its close
relative, the Black-headed Cardinal Beetle P. coccinea for reasons
that should require no further clarification!
