Certainly looks a good match to Icius hamatus . So certainly Icius sp. is a good i.d. http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?im...N%26start%3D20

Thanks for that, i had rushed that post and forgot to add that someone kindly ID`d it as an Icius species before i posted it, but thanks anyway
What i really want to know is where they occur?
Their not native to Britain im guessing? |

Certainly not native to Britain and noted as a Mediterranean species. One record from Poland (obviously an import). Appear in Southern France, Spain, Mexico etc, basically anywhere along that latitude it seems.

...and so presumably imported along with some plant in the Garden Centre then? I think we had a similar thread recently. |
