Spent some time wandering around between KH road and the A14 again, and filled my CF but wasn't very convinced by most of the results; a tripod might have helped in the rather few cases that my subjects stayed still long enough, but I'd not brought it with me. I've kept a few, but the purple flower above is the only one I want to publish right now. The cactus usually lives in the kitchen but went outside for a quick portrait session a few days ago.
Would anyone care to confirm or refute my identifications here and here? I'm pretty happy about the former but the guide I'm using suggests that the two candidates I have for the latter are often confused.
(With each other. I don't mean they fly around in a state of confusion, at least not any more than any other kind of insect.)
In particular the light patches on the thorax of striolatum don't seem to be evident, but I couldn't say that the legs are clearly just black. It does seem to be more red than orange to my eyes though, which makes it two out of three for sanguineum.
