I came across this rather splendid beetle this morning on my local patch near Heathrow.
Any ideas what it might be? It's not one I've met before.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi Dave,
I think it's Rutpela maculata.

Nigel

Thank you both - I shall add it to my collection of "other invertebrates encountered whilst looking for butterflies"!
Cheers,
