Sorry about the pic quality, wouldn't stand still, but I think a beetle bod will know what it is. Black body and tan coloured head, any idea please?

    I think it is a red breasted carrion beetle, bit hard to tell with the blurry photo though

    Would it have been red underneath Jellyfire? Yes, I know what you mean about blurry pic but it quickly flew away.

    Not certain, only seen pics of them from above, but given its name I would imagine so!
