It looks like one to me Roger but I would wait until one of the experts has looked.

Thanks Ron hope you are right as I'm trying to get more to grips with the names of some of the smaller insects. OK with butterflies, dragons and damsels but must make the effort to learn some of these smaller insects

One way is to use both Latin and common name for the file name. That's what I've been doing for a while.

e.g. Ononis spinosa-Spiny Restharrow_0001.cr2

Where a subject has no common name, I just use the Latin one.
