They seem to like sitting on pale vertical surfaces. While chatting to a friend on a local nature reserve recently I noticed a Prosena on his leg (old, white corduroy trousers) ... I caught it of course ![]() ![]() ChrisR attached the following image: ![]() [167.81Kb] Edited by ChrisR on 16-08-2008 18:06 |
