Thanks a lot for the ID. I t

Thanks a lot for the ID. I took those pictures two cameras back - so I 'm glad you could see it well enough to ID. Thanks again!

cropping

when you seek identification, please make sure to crop images so that the bug fills the frame, like i did here for you.
once the pics have been properly cropped, i'll ask our expert to take a look and comment.
also, please capitalize place names properly, and keep in mind that only accurately measured size (in mm) may help identification, estimates are at best useless, too often misleading.
if no measurement has been taken, just leave the size field blank, no big deal.
