      Thank you! :) This one was another charmer. I have another shot of him/her on my finger. Very calm and mellow. Posted 7 years ago

    Howdy, I've taken the liberty to change the species ID on this one. Going by how the white suture is _not_ running through to the tip of the elytra (and around to the sides), this is Agapanthia suturalis, not cardui - making this a species intro for JD in retrospect :o) Cheers, Arp Posted 5 years ago
