Amazing beetle Martin!
You might have to search under bark in the daytime when they are sleeping.
We're in a bit of strife this year Martin. The car yards next to the forest here have obviously reviewed their power bills and have removed most of the powerful night lights. So has the school. It was good while it lasted I suppose. :(
A beauty.
