Red-headed Cardinal Beetle

Pyrochroa serraticornis

Description:

The red-headed or 'common' cardinal beetle (Pyrochroa serraticornis) is a red to orange beetle with, as the name suggests, a red head. It is about 20 millimetres (0.79 in) long, and is found throughout Britain.

Habitat:

This one was on my house which is near a small area of trees. Red-headed cardinal beetles are normally found at the edges of woodland.
