New (to me) bug
http://www.evershot-weather.org/DSC_0002.JPG
What on earth is it? It is about 1in. long, with orange/red and black stripes, hairy, furry tail, and 4 unusual white blobs on its upper back. Ut was wandering about a rose as you can see. Perhaps looking for greenfly? I can't find it in my insects book. I don't even know what species it is. Any info? Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |
