Is it a tropical thing? What ever it is, if it has survived minus 20 in the UK over winter and plus 35 ish in Portugal, it must be make of strong stuff!

I don't know Russell but it did survive the heat and the bitter cold stuck in a vent. I've done google image searches on the three beetle types listed on here and think it could be any of them. Just glad we got rid of it though.

It looks to me like a "Wooly Darkling Beetle" are the red hairs straight and upright?.

Getting beetle'd oot!

Saddletramp, yes the red hair was bristley as I brushed my hand off it when I was trying to get it out the vent. It had a shell though and not a hairy back like the WDB's I've looked at on google.

I have more pics I will try upload them but MHF is saying that the attachment (one picture) is too big. I'll try again.

I don't know what it was. Not intending to sound sarcastic but that's why I asked because I would like to know too but there is now four possibilies.

This is not a complaint but I am puzzled as to why this has been moved from the Burstner Motorhomes topic to Nature Watch. I put it in BH as I thought it would of interest to 2010 Burstner owners in case they had one and maybe wanted to to check their vents.
