Two-spotted Diaperis
Diaperis maculata
Adult Two-spotted Diaperis beetles inhabit mature woodland, especially where bracket fungi grow on dead trees. They feed on fungal tissue and may gather beneath loose bark or inside fruiting bodies. The glossy dark wing cases bear two conspicuous reddish spots, a useful field mark for the species.
