Unusual Insect

Have a lookat this
It could be extremely rare on the other hand..............................

Have you got any more photos Beryl? It couldn't be two insects together could it?

No that is the only one. I searched for it. It was so unusual I thought I would snap it and then I forgot about it.
Only took it last month as well . Most strange. I will have another look
It is only one insect I'm sure.

It's just that it has two pairs of antennae, which i can't seem to find anywhere.

Interesting insect. Have a look at Miris striatus Beryl, it isn't this one but quite close. Also I understand Coris quadripunctatus has a similar pattern to this but is smaller in size but I cannot find a pic of it......best I can do.


Pete.

Similar but the antennae are different

I think the short set of antenna looking feelers may be feeding tubes

It might be one of the Miris striatus type insects as there are so many and it is similar. I will leave it here a I don't consider it's of quality for the forum but an interesting bug.
Thanks for any help :)

It's one of the many flower bugs
Leptoglossus occidentalis - Western Conifer Seed Bug - Leptoglossus occidentalis - BugGuide.Net

Not the one in that picture though Beryl, will be interesting to get an exact match.

No it's not. But the head is sort of long and pointed and unlike the Miris striatus it doesn't seam to have such big eye. Just looked at the date . I capture this in May 2006. So will have to wit until next summe to capture another :D

Beryl can I 'borrow' your pic for enquiries to try and ID this insect.


Pete.

Yes sure. Pete

It might be a moth . Similar to this

Or a longhorn moth

Thanks for letting me 'borrow' the pic Beryl. Unfortunately I have made no progress in the search for the insects ID.

Sorry about this Beryl as I was interested in what it was and we don't appear to be going to find out.


Pete.

That's ok Pete. It is a Longhorn Moth
I just need to find one with the same pattern and there are hundreds of similar Long Horn moths so only a few will be shown on the web sites and as the photo is not too good I won't be putting it inthe forum . I just found it interesting to try and find out.
Thanks for your help
