Nature's Scarlet Secret - The Cardinal Beetle - A Hidden Gem in Old Wood!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bob Gibbons, we are transported into the mysterious world of the Cardinal Beetle. With its vibrant scarlet hue and striking presence, this little insect is a true gem hiding within old wood. The larvae of these beetles call decaying stumps their home, adding an element of intrigue to their already fascinating existence. As they burrow through dead wood, they leave behind a trail of wonder and awe for those lucky enough to stumble upon them. Sadly, despite once being widespread across the UK, these incredible creatures are now facing a decline in numbers. It serves as a reminder that even the most resilient species can be affected by environmental changes. But let's not dwell on the negative! Instead, let us celebrate this remarkable beetle and its ability to captivate our hearts with its scarlet beauty. Its presence reminds us that there is still so much diversity and magic left to discover in our own backyards. So next time you come across an old stump or fallen log during your woodland adventures, keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Cardinal Beetle. Who knows what other hidden treasures await you in nature's secret hideaways?
