On the Beach at the Bay? Have you seen this beetle?
15mm
The strandline beetle hides under wood on the beach by day and hunts by night It is declining throughout its range and may have been lost from Crymlyn Burrows It needs beach debris to survive. Overzealous beach cleaning is one of the reasons for its decline It is only found on beaches backed by sand dunes The wildlife of Crymlyn Burrows is of national importance and protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest
What can you do to help? Leave all wood and natural debris on the beach - no fires in the SSSI If litter picking, check carefully under large pieces of plastic, drums, tyres etc before removing them If you see one of these beetles, take a photo if possible and report all sightings to wildlife@swansea.ac.uk
