Conservation charity Buglife asked for the public's help last year to find evidence of the Strandline Beetle (Eurynebria complanata), which was last spotted in England 23 years ago in Braunton Burrows, north Devon.

The charity said it had five public responses to a survey, with two sightings in Swansea Bay, Wales, but no sightings were recorded in England.

Buglife spokesperson Paul Hetherington said it was looking unlikely the beetle was still in England but "further work" was needed before it could say conclusively.
