Smallest Beetle in Europe Discovered at Rutland Water. On Anglia news tonight (25.10.24) or catch up on ITVX The smallest beetle in Europe, measuring just 0.4mm in length, has recently been discovered at Rutland Water Nature Reserve. It is only the third time this species has been recorded in Britain, and the first time it has been recorded outside of East Anglia – where the two previous records originated. The discovery was made by Senior Species and Recording Officer, Tim Sexton, following a fungi foray as part of the UK Fungus Day celebrations over the weekend of 5th and 6th October. See the video through the microscope, of the Baranowskiella ehnstromi, a member of the feather-wing beetle family (Ptiliidae) here - https://lnkd.in/e3j5StFv Photo Credits: Tim Sexton, Graham Finch
