Hi Cath, The bands on the hind femora and orange inside are not typical of Goniaea nymphs but we are away in the tropics at the moment and I don't have my copy of Rentz's book with the nymph images for reference. I will look at it again when we return in October. Perhaps you could revisit the same spot in a couple of months to see if any adults have appeared. Roger
