Can I confirm this is Criorhina ranunculi? Found sunbathing on my windowledge in London today (28/03/08). I stupidly assumed it was M. equestris and took only a few record shots before releasing it. Best Tristan tristanba attached the following image:  [59.73Kb] |

Many thanks Jon. I wonder if this is an interesting record for urban north London. |

Thanks Nigel, the site is in TQ30 so would appear to be a new square for the species. |
