Fire-coloured Beetle
Fire-coloured beetles is the common name for members of the tenebrionoid family Pyrochroidae. The family is found worldwide, and is most diverse at temperate latitudes. Adults measure 2-20 mm; larvae reach 35 mm. Larvae of Pyrochroinae are found associated with the bark of dead trees. They are probably mostly fungivorous, although they may become cannibalistic if too crowded. This family contains some 150 species in 30 genera. The males of many species in the subfamily Pyrochroinae have comb- or antler-like antennae. This family also now includes most former members of the defunct family Pedilidae. 280px, ''Pyrochroa serraticornis'' Genera These 21 genera belong to the family Pyrochroidae: * '' Agnathus'' Germar, 1818 * '' Anisotria'' Young, 1984 * '' Cononotus'' Leconte, 1851 * '' Dendroides'' Latreille, 1810 * '' Exocalopus'' Broun, 1893 * '' Frontodendroidopsis'' Young, 2004 * '' Hemidendroides'' Ferrari, 1869 * '' Lithomacratria'' Wickham, 1914 * '' Malagaethes'' Pollock ...

Pyrochroa Coccinea
The name cardinal beetle typically refers to three different species of beetles. The red-headed or 'common' cardinal beetle ('' Pyrochroa serraticornis'') is a red to orange beetle with, as the name suggests, a red head. It is about long, and is found throughout Britain. The rarer black-headed cardinal beetle (''P. coccinea''), similarly found at sites across Britain, is larger and a deeper blood red. The scarce cardinal beetle ('' Schizotus pectinicornis'') also has a black head, but is smaller at around long. The scarce cardinal is only found at a few sites in Scotland and Wales. Cardinal beetles prey on other insects, while their bright red colour prevents them being the target of other predators which believe them to be toxic. Habitat Red-headed cardinal beetles are normally found at the edges of woodland. Adults of this variety usually emerge around May in England, when they tend to be found under loose bark on deciduous trees. Fallen and standing timber and rotting stump ...
