I'd hazzard a guess at a Phorocera sp. ... not obscura

Ph. assimilis is an excellent ID. Grandis does not occur in het Amsterdamse Bos. Theo |

Thank you very much Theo for your comment. size 10-15mm could be a bit to much, 10-12mm is a better indication I think? Edited by Robert Heemskerk on 24-04-2010 23:57 Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Grandis is no bigger than assimilis, (or assimilis is no smaller) so don't worry |
