Baeocrara is a genus of featherwing beetles named because of the intricate structure of their flight wings, which have a long fringe of hairs on their borders. They belong to the Ptiliidae family, and are minute: between 1 and 0.5 mm. They are mostly found in hollow fir stumps and other types of rotten wood, dung and plant detritus. They feed on fungal spores.[1] They seem to be recent immigrants to Northern Europe possibly introduced by the import of sawmill products.[2] They have been reported in the Czech Republic.[3] They are one of the least known groups in the Coleoptera.[4]
