Beaten from Scots Pine, this Tetrapleps bicuspis looks to be a new addition to the county fauna, though it's probably massively under-recorded. Looking at the Highland Biological Recording Group area "dots" on NBN is usually a good indicator.
It overwinters on conifers as an adult so maybe it's missed. Or maybe not that many people are beating conifers in spring. I suspect more dots could be put on the map with a bit more conifer bashing.
