Hi Everyone,
Sorry have not posted for a while but making the most of the fine weather and doing tonnes of photography. Photo'd this a couple of days ago and it doesn't appear in any of my reference books. Any ideas? It was feeding on seed heads of grass, boring into them with a dagger like proboscis.
