Cantharis flavilabris

I originally had my only record down as Cantharis nigra, but the absence of a red scutellum and the dark femoral bases clearly make it flavilabris not nigra. Duff says that pre-2015 literature used the name nigra for Cantharis flavilabris, so I suspect I was using an old reference.


This was found on a Hogweed flower.
