Hi, It appears to be Scoliocentra, using the keys to insects of the European part of USSR it keys to Scoliocentra scutellaris but I'm not sure I followed it correctly. 6th June in my garden, near Lincoln UK. Janet blowave attached the following image:  [76.84Kb] http://cubits.org... |

Hi, Scoliocentra scutellaris is very similar to Sc. villosa and Sc. fraterna in body colouration. Your female specimen is with all probability Scoliocentra (Chaetomus) confusa  . Andrzej

AndrzejThanks Andrzej, at least I go the correct genus!  What are the defining differences which would make it confusa? If there is a feature I need to look for, I can enlarge the photo more but I only got two shots. http://cubits.org... |

I looked at the keys again, I can see where I should have jumped to #5 and onwards, there are hairs on the Mesopleuron. Are we safe to call it Scoliocentra (Chaetomus) confusa? http://cubits.org... |
