Hello, I had R. campestris on 2nd September. On the 3rd I saw this one, it was too quick to get good pics but I think the tibia look to be red in the blurred pic. It was feeding on Geranium pyrenaicum 'Bill Wallis' which is on the south side and under the edge of a Horse Chestnut tree in my garden, south of Lincoln UK. I think it is R. rostrata, is this correct? 2 pics only. Janet

I see blackish on the tibiae. For me this is a typical campestris. But maybe Gerard would object? |

I would like to know what Gerard thinks too. I have looked at pics of P. rostrata and the tibiae seem much more black than on mine, the hind leg does have some black on rostrata anyway does it not? Legs 1 & 2 don't really look to have black to me, but let's see what Gerard thinks!
