Flower longhorn

I found so many of them in a special place :). They were everywhere flying around and eating not shy at all that's why I could make some photos. So thanks again for all the information girls :)

I was just getting round to posting mine so had just ID'd that one but its no way near as good a photo as Faredins as mine was hiding behind some stalks off grass then it flew off ha! I'm glad you put it up or else I would have given mine the wrong scientific name!

Strangalia maculata is old name, you were right, Debbie :D these are my favorite beetles...

Yes I noticed, I think strangalia is the old scientific name so better following Jopys suggestion on that bit :-)

Thanks a lot Debbie, looks right plus Jopy suggests the same like you :)

I found one of these yesterday Faredin and I'm pretty sure it is one of these:http://www.wildlifeinsight.com/Insight/?tag=strangalia-maculata
