Hello, Taken on 5th August, my garden near Lincoln UK. Old woodlands, pastures and heathlands habitat. Size, not sure, possibly ~10mm. I can crop closer some parts in needed. Thanks! Janet

Thank you Erikas! I looked at that but thought the colour was wrong.

The colour does look a bit brown ... a bit Phorocera-ish ... but it is clearly an Exorista because there is a shadow-fold extending from the bend of vein m and the parafrontals descend to around the middle of antenna-3 (it also has that lovely mustard & white dusting on the head) ... then noticing that it has 3 dorsocentrals points you to E.rustica group

Thanks Chris, it's good to know what to look for. I did at least recognise it was in Exoristini.

The golden parafrontals are a clear clue.... not to be seen in Phorocera Theo |
