Aptesis flagitator

Description

 Body length 9 - 11mm. Black and orange/brown with white on the tip of the abdomen and white bands on the antennae.

Status and distribution

There is one record on the NBN website from just north of Winchester, so this is probably a fairly scarce species in Britain.
