Now I know Rove Beetles are notoriously tricky to ID, but this one seemed to be marked pretty uniquely, however I still couldn't find a good match for what it might be!!

Any ideas please?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

Sorry for late reply, have been away.

Dan I knew I should've taken note of the time, I did measure it but didn't note it down and have forgotten now!

Habitat was just in my small urban garden.

Staphylinus caesareus had been suggested elsewhere as well.

Thanks,

Nige
