I am often amazed at how creatures manage to move long distances, especially small creatures like this Green tiger beetle (Cicindela campestris) I found at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park yesterday. At just 15mm long, this little beetle can run much faster than you might think, and it can also fly quite well for short distances, but it has never been recorded at Cosmeston before, and a check of the Welsh biodiversity database shows the nearest records were over 10 kilometres away and not recent. So, did it hitch a ride in someone’s car, catch a train and fly from the station, hop on a bus? And, if there’s one, are there more? I will be looking.
