Name that bug ?
Hi all
Following the recent success of identifying my caterpillar and although not strictly gardening, I thought someone might like a go at ' Name that bug ' for a mystified friend. Seen SW France, early June. 4 cm wing span. 3 cms long. http://home.clara.net/andycoleman/bug.jpg Or perhaps a pointer to a more appropriate NG. TIA Andy |

TIA Andy From the pattern on the wings I'd guess at Libelloides coccajus or L. longicornis. Jo in sunny Spain |

The message
from Andy Pandy contains these words: Following the recent success of identifying my caterpillar and although not strictly gardening, I thought someone might like a go at ' Name that bug ' for a mystified friend.

It looks as if it might be a clearwing moth of some sort. -- Rusty Emus to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/ |
