Is this a male Polietes lardarius? Seen today in a woodland in Sussex, UK. I've never knowingly seen one of these before, so I hope I've got the genus right at least.
Many thanks,
Dylan

Hi Dylan, the image is a bit dark and I only found a female until now, but it seems you are right and it's a male Polietes lardarius. (colour, pattern, eyes hairy, vein m not deflected)
