 I think this is Phorocera assimilis, but would like a confirmation.

Specimen caught in the Netherlands in a decidous forest on 28-5.

Thanks in advance

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
