Bornean Flat-horned Beetle
A compact stag beetle with a broad, flattened body perfectly adapted for living under bark. It is dark reddish-brown with flattened mandibles and ridged elytra for grip in tight spaces.
Did You Know?
Its extremely flat body allows it to squeeze into crevices less than 5 mm wide between bark and wood.
Woodland Brown
A large brown butterfly with prominent yellow-ringed eyespots along the margins of both wings. It is one of Europe's most threatened butterflies due to changes in woodland management.
Did You Know?
It requires a very specific habitat of partially shaded grassy woodland that is now vanishingly rare.
