Hi All

Looks to me like a long-horn with a V across the shoulder of the elytra.
The abdomen protrudes below the elytra.

The only one I can find like this is Pseudovadonia livida (Fairy-ring Longhorn).
Can someone confirm or set me straight please?

Yours, Gareth

Hi Gareth, quite sure, it's a male Stenurella melanura (Black-striped Longhorn).

Hi Eric

Thank for your input. On your suggestion, I search around and found this photo showing the V across the shoulders.
Other pictures had not shown it. It would make sense as females were present nearby.

Thanks for putting me straight.

Gareth

PS. Any good at Weevils?

Hi Gareth, I'm familiar with some of the weevils - but there are many (and a lot more...).
