strewn along the path
bloody nosed beetle corpses
dismantled by ants
This time of year we seem to see an abundance of bloody nosed beetles on the moors. It must be they get disturbed when the harvests happen, so they end up more visible when the crops they normally hide in get shorn. Invariably a lot of them get stomped on. I’ve not picked one up yet (a live one), but apparently they spit a red liquid on you when disturbed, hence the bloody nose.
A pic I took of a live one above.
