I know I will probably be told that this is the ubiquitous S.stercoraria AGAIN. What does stercoraria mean? Isn't about time it was re-named variablis or something more fitting??? Anyway found this version yesterday in very smart livery of black and yellow....I assume it is stercoraria with black antennae??? Roger Thomason attached the following image:  [21.38Kb] |

Stercoraria: probably from Latin stercus, stercoris 'dung'. Kind regards Menko Vlaardingerbroek |
