A place to add everything I see on my visits to Kirk lane and Nunroyed park. At the time I believe I have named everything right to the best of my knowledge but there will be an odd few that are wrong. Those marked with a "*" are most likely to be that species but have not been confirmed.
Common red soldier beetle (Rhagonycha fulva)
Beetle
6 July 2020
Order: Coleoptera
The common red soldier beetle is also known as the 'bloodsucker' for its striking red appearance, but it is harmless. It is a beneficial garden insect as the adults eat aphids, and the larvae eat other pests.
