I think I can recognize Phorocera obscura. They are every year in our garden. But I'm never sure about the smaller darker ones. I know they are variable in length.
Bergen, The Netherlands.

Photo 16-4-2014. This one must be right.

Looks like 2 different species -
Phorocera obscura first and then maybe
Eumea linearicornis second & third?

Thanks Chris,
A difficult one to determine from photos I think.

I only recognised the
Eumea because I had seen one on a leaf earlier this Spring and they have a distinctly exoristine look to them with the golden face :)

I hope I recognize it now too. ;) I didn't see new species today, but I've taken some other photos of an Eumea.
