One or two selected species from the last 2 nights.

 Setaceous Hebrew Character - looking a bit worn but it's a first for here this year

 Devils Coach-horse Beetle

First one I've had here for many years, and I accidentally trod on it in the dark (ouch... I heard something crunch!!!). When I looked down with the torch it had it's abdomen curled up and I managed to get a shot of before it crawled down a crevice in the path. Hope it's ok but it looks to have a bit of damage.
