I am sorry I cannot tell you what it is called. We unfortunately do not have something like Bugguide here. :(

Marvelous low-down viewpoint on this guy. Makes him seem really huge!

He is about 1.5cm in length Mike. Thanks for the nice comment.

Thanks for the kind words Ken. Yes I know you have seen it before, but I thought it might be interesting for this forum.
