Red-headed cardinal beetles
<p class="field">The Red-headed cardinal beetle (Pyrochroa serraticornis) is a bright red, medium-sized beetle with black legs and antennae. It's commonly found in woodlands, hedgerows, parks, and gardens, especially during the summer months. Adults are often seen sunbathing on flowers or tree trunks. They are predators, feeding on other insects, particularly around flowers. The larvae live under loose bark and prey on other insect larvae.</p><p class="field"><strong>Location:</strong> Malomirovo Bulgaria</p><p class="field"><strong>Photographer:</strong> Dr Cliff Norton</p>
