Nat. size. well-decayed logs. Numerous beetles, such as Tritoma festiva, T. tlioracica and Boletotherus bifurcus, feed on fungi. A large slug is also common. In dry protected spots beneath trees may be found the funnel-shaped pits of the ant-lions and occasionally one finds the burrows of a tiger-beetle. Larvas of Lachnosterna beetles, Trichitis piger and T. delta inhabit old oak stumps. (Fig. 9)..
