A charity is attempting to locate new sites that are home to the UK's largest ground beetle.
Image source,Laura Larkin, Buglife conservation officer, said: "We need help to find out where these amazing beetles live.
"It would be absolutely fantastic if through this survey we were able to find new populations of the Blue Ground Beetle." The beetle is identifiable by its striking blue-coloured body. It is mainly nocturnal but can be found at any time of the year, said Ms Larkin. The species makes its home in damp oak and beech woodland, and enjoys clambering up mossy tree trunks in search of slugs, she added.
Buglife has asked for people to take pictures and send them in to the Dartmoor Blue Ground Beetle project online.Follow BBC News South West on
