Can anyone help me identify this insect please. Size around 10mm ish. Place S England. Time: yesterday. The photograph is of a live specimen which ventured indoors. The thorax has a distinct coppery sheen in some photos, but those femurs, especially the hind ones, are perhaps among the most distinctive features. I have searched for anything like it, but have drawn a complete blank. Another pic to follow... Basil Crowley attached the following image:  [46.97Kb] |

You can even make out the spines under the hind femora are in two rows!

I'd be happy to submit these photos to the gallery, if they meet the standard required. |
