Lucila (pos) silvarum - Bonneires-sur-Seine France 17/09/2022

Подсунул гусеницу своему старому знакомому - пауку, но он её не стал есть (видно гусеница хорошо защищена), поэтому паук её просто щекотал, пока та не прыгнула подальше от паучьей паутины.

Паук называется Аргиопа (Argiopa bruennichi).

Superb cryptic moth (not very cryptic on grey plastic) decided to spend the day on our wheelie bin (US=garbage bin) not something I'd like to do. Certainly the most beautiful thing ever seen on or in it. Anybody any idea of the species? It's not listed in my moth book...

Now identified (16/6/05) with many thanks to urtica, see here

Udzungwa Mountains National Park, Tanzania.
