πŸ’₯New populations of rare beetle discovered on DartmoorπŸ’₯

We're excited to share that two new populations of one of Britian’s rarest beetles have been discovered in Devon.

The rare Blue Ground Beetle (Carabus intricatus) has been found at two new sites on Dartmoor.

In addition to this a third site in Cornwall has been found to be much bigger than originally thought!
