[ID, Hemiptera] Anyone confirm Asiraca clavicornis?

[Jason Green]

Afternoon all,

Silly question I imagine - it's unmistakable! Seen today, habitat is correct.

Found in scrubland
Asiraca clavicornis

It was only a quick-snatch photo whilst looking elsewhere, having stopped only because it's a distinctive one; I'd really been looking for microscope-only Syrphids. I'm pretty glad I did now, with it being an Nb species!

Take care,

Jason

Yep, consider it confirmed! As you say, unmistakable.

It seems to be expanding this past couple of years, and has been found further and further from the Thames Estuary, even including Cambridge and apparently Nottingham! Where was this one?

Well done Jason, not seen one yet this year
