Gendarme on bud
A little insect, about 10-15mm long, very common in SW France on sunny days. I have never seen one fly, so they probably can't. The French call them "gendarmes" because like the police, you see them more on sunny days, but I would like to know their proper name so I can submit a photo to EOL.org if possible. Thanks!
