Can anyone say if this is V. bombylans. I know the patterning varies a lot, but haven't come across this pattern before. c11mm Wiltshire, UK 13.6.10 nick upton attached the following image:  [182.71Kb] Edited by nick upton on 13-06-2010 21:48 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

Many thanks. Somehow missed that one in the gallery and it was much bigger and hairier than other Cheiiosia's I've seen before. I'll know it next time for sure! Said to be common in UK especially on Heracleum... which is what is was feeding on.
