This is a Devil's Coach Horse, the largest species of Rove Beetle in the UK. You might come across one in your garden as you tidy up any fallen leaves or move stones or pots or you might also find them in woodlands. It usually hides away by day and predates on other invertebrates by night. They will hibernate underground over cold winters. Thanks to Margaret for this recent record and photo from her garden in Newtonhill. Let us know where and when you may have also seen this under-recorded beetle species recently. Further detailed information on the species is available on the Buglife website at:![]()

This fungus has the memorable common name of Jellybaby due to its gelatinous texture and appearance. The scientific name is Leotia lubrica and you can find it in mossy grass, as in the picture, as well as in broadleaved woodland. It is quite easy to miss due to its small size (up to about 6cm) and subdued colour but once you have your eye in you can often see many loosely grouped together. Let us know where and when you see any near you. Thanks to Albert for this photo taken this week near Methlick.
