On a threatened site in Strathspey, Scotland. Possibly a first record for this longhorn at this threatened site. (Although old historic record with location 'Aviemore')
Getting a good shot is always satisfying, but I won't lie and deny that this "collecting" species is part of the fun.
Here, I managed to photograph two new species for me in a single shot. The black and yellow one is a flower lonhorn known as Judolia sexmaculata) which doesn't have a common English name. And the blue one is a
Gaurotes virginea, also without a common English name.
This is from a 2024 visit to the Mjällådalen nature reserve somewhat near Härnösand, Sweden.
