A photo of a Red-headed Cardinal beetle, with wings spread, about to take off. There are three species of Cardinal beetle in the UK; the other two being Black-headed Cardinal beetles; one of which is extremely rare and can only be found in Wales.

Red-headed Cardinal Beetle Pyrochroa serraticornis, from the family Pyrochroidae.

I'd wanted to take a photo, but got lucky as it spread its wings with a view to taking off.

Lesser stag beetle. Photographed close-up on a stone path in Lewes, UK. 17 May 2025

Saturday I went to Lewes for a talk on wilding your garden. The venue was in a small nature reserve next to the railway and on the walk back to the station I found these two amazing beetles on the path, a #CardinalBeetle and a #StagBeetle (taken with an old manual focus Nikkor 55m macro lens).

Cardinal beetle. I think he's a bit late for the Conclave.
