Thanks, chaps for the encouraging remarks.
Yes, Steve. I think that's what the brightness on its"forehead" must be, in spite of the 2 layers of tracing paper that usually suffice in the diffusion dept.! I must have just caught that area at the wrong angle....
And no, except, possibly, a parasitic wasp?
All offers of an id appreciated!

It's the only way to travel & snap at the same time, along roads reserved for army use (generally),
With a Sigma RGPL stuffed out of the window.
I'm sure nobody noticed.......

Thank you both for your kind comments,
I can't get my head around how thin the stalk is & how strong it must be, bearing in mind how it was flexing back & forth in the slight breeze there was at the time! The web says it's just hardened mucus!!
Once you see one, they're all over the place.....
Thanks again for looking,
