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.

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

Thankyou John, I thought that might be the case.
And thankyou too Roger.
