Clockwise from bottom left: A pair of mating Blue Ground Beetles (BGBs) - males are typically smaller than females. Deadwood, on the ground and standing, is an important resource for BGBs and many other temperate rainforest species. Top right: BGB awaiting fitment of radio-tag, and below, BGB on the move with radio-tag in place. All photos taken in Dendles Wood on Dartmoor, Devon, UK.
