Sarah,

Well worth keeping, though I am pretty sure it is pectinicornis.

Hi Patrick
   
  Unfortunately couldn't get the enlarged picture at that link. It was on my
windscreen(!) near Haslemere, at the foot of Black Down, so very suitable
habitat-ish.
  Is it worth keeping for you to have a look at?
  Many thanks
   
  Sarah

  Sarah,

I think it is Ctenophora pectinicornis. There is a picture here:

http://tinyurl.com/2tejek

Keith Alexander says "Nationally Scarce. Associated with rot-holes in large
broadleaved trees, especially beech; larvae often occur in the rotten
shattered ends of trunks and have been found in rotten boughs which have
freshly fallen from at least 10m up. Widespread in southern Britain, scarcer
in west and north."

Does that fit with where you found it?
