Phasia hemiptera (male) - nice photo The females are much less dramatic, being slightly smaller, drabber and without the bowed, patterned wings. The species seems to be getting much commoner in recent years, along with many other phasiines. As you are close to the south coast keep looking out for Ectophasia crassipennis - it is common in mainland Europe and made it to the Channel Isles in the late 1990s so one might predict it should jump to mainland England any time soon |
