This interesting specimen, with attractively patterned wings, appeared during an insect survey of the cycle track I use for my journeys to and from the town centre. Again, I have to defer to far more knowledgeable people than myself here with respect to this one. Record details: Location: UK, OS Grid Reference SJ499855 Date: 2012-09-05, 12:36 BST Habitat: Bramble and Thistle patch adjacent to a cluster of Oak trees, with a small brook to the south. Calilasseia attached the following image:  [44.76Kb] |

No need to cover your ass, Roger, the ID is fine.
