Hello! I thought this was easy until I saw there was confusion species! Is this correct? I saw them flying attached, they landed briefly then took off again after a walk around some leaves. 4th June 2010, my garden near Lincoln UK. 3 pics. Janet

I am fairly sure these are C floccosa - the jizz is just right and they appear to have the tuft of pale hairs lacked by the similar C berberina.

Thanks Nigel! I read some old threads and found there was variations of other species so it's wise to check. I thought I could see a hint of colour on the antennae too but they look basically black.
