Photographed in Reading, UK, beside a lake. The antennae are actually white, but this does not show up well against the white background. tristram attached the following image:  [118.4Kb] Edited by tristram on 22-08-2010 22:02 |

Hi Tristram Yes it is a female Lonchaea of even Setisquamalonchaea. The antennae will not actually be white but are probably covered in a white or silvery dusting which at certain angles and lighting conditions will make them appear white ........ Iain Iain MacGowan |
