It is all in a name... and quite a name at that! Agapanthia villosoviridescens has to be me favourite scientic name of any British creature! It rolls off the tongue in a fluid syllable rich cascade that ends up becoming the Golden-bloomed Grey Longhorn Beetle.
They are quite common here and those long stripy antenna are a bit of a give away!
Come and try and find one!
