many thanks. No heath around, grassy meadow beside a conifer plantation. It was on the same spot the following day right beside the conifers. (exact location and better pics on ispot, showing eyes with pale hairs low down) |

Interesting but I just associate them with heath where they can be very common, and they probably occur in other habitats too EDIT: hosts apparently feed on heather and reeds Edited by ChrisR on 04-09-2012 07:58 Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |
