Yes that looks the one.
Do the larva burrow into soil and then appear in the spring/summer next year?
Thanks all for your help.

Matsukaze,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have set up a new album (Photo gallery, members albums, andyast) where you should be able to view the pic.
You'll have to let me know how to link to the picture?

Cheers,
Andy

we have, I think, identified a group of Datana ministra on a tree at work but none of the british web pages seem to list it as native. i have found it on US web pages.
Does this species occur in the British isles?

any help welcome.

Thanks
Andy
