Photographed in a damp field near Reading, UK, on 2011-09-19. I haven't come across any Ptychoptera before that have these orange patterns on their abdomens. tristram attached the following image:  [177.92Kb] Edited by tristram on 19-09-2011 18:46 |

The amount of yellow on the abdomen is highly variable in my local species of Ptychoptera. |
