Pashford pot beetle  (Cryptocephalus exiguus)

This species was once much more widespread in England, having been recorded in the Norfolk Broads and north Lincolnshire. However, these might have been widely separated and extremely localised populations. The beetle was not found at any site after 1957 until 1980, when a single male was found at Pashford Poor's Fen near Lakenheath in Suffolk. Several more beetles have been found at the same site.

The Pashford pot beetle appears to be associated with common sorrel growing at the edges of fens.
