Found this one yesterday on the beach at Garths Voe, Shetland. One I haven't seen before. Crap photos [again] but possibly ID'able from them...

Thanks for that Iain. I've had A.ferox before [a male] it looked totally different to this one, Sexual Dimorphism? Very distinctive antennae...

The only other Aphrosylus I've seen here was an assumed A.celtiber which I posted on here but never got a response...

Thanks for that Igor, I've tried finding ones in the same location since I found this one, to no avail. Will keep looking but weather not the best ATM. There's supposed to be only one Rhaphium sp.on my list for here, but...
Had these examples in the past,
