Lovely find Janet. Found your neck of the woods?

Very interesting Janet.  My book says it's nationally scarce. Well done. It's also rather a handsome creature.

The Ragwort I left last year which had the Red-tipped on has set a few plants on the grass path nearby too (which I left), that's another insect magnet!
Yes it is nationally scarce Deb, it says Nb on Hants Moths. This on top of getting Ferdinandea ruficornis too, what's next! Well, I do have a species of Platycheirus which isn't yet properly recorded in the UK! 
Thanks Pete, it was being in the right place at the right time but lately I have been stood sentry over the Achillea. LOL. I had been trying to get pics of a small Ancistrocerus type wasp, about the size of the moth, it had disappeared so I went in the direction I saw it go. I saw this first when I was stood above it, thinking for a start it was the wasp but when I saw the wings and tail through the lens I knew it wasn't! I had to step back a few feet so was lucky to get it!
There is a record somewhere around Whisby which is only a hop step and jump from me, I don't know how old it is though. Even if an old record, it indicates a presence which has escaped most people's attention.
