Worcester Woods Country Park is owned by Worcester County Council and is nestled between Worcester Royal Hospital and County Hall so it is quite busy on a sunny lunchtime with council and Hospital workers taking a break. a great setting to work in. It is split into two distinct areas, Meadow and Woodland.

Soldier Beetle - Cantharis sp
Compare with Cantharis Pellucida which does not have the black heart shaped mark.
