Yes, but without location, date, host plant a difficult case!!! Asiorestia, former known as Crepidodera, Neocrepidodera at faunaeur.org. If from GB it should be (99%) ferruginea from Poacea. With a dorsal view we could exclude the common transversa from Cirsium. Studying the genitalia could led us to the rare sublaevis - not recorded, but should occure in GB too.

Sorry for missing off some of the information, it was not carried over in the metadata. They were at Pilch field an area of 'ancient' grassland and hedges in Buckinghamshire, UK in August 2005. The plant species is an Asteraceae, should know the actual species as I am a plant ecologist but it escapes me for the moment (there are a few similar ones and I will have to check which ones grow on this nature reserve from the species list). |
