I must admit I just looked at what had already been recorded and chose T limbata because it looked closest. I wish I'd found it alive on a plant :(

This is a female of, as as MarkH says, Temognatha limbata. Sadly, NatureMapr is closing down. Will its records and their associated comments be incorporated in ALA?
