Anaglyptus mysticus (Linnaeus, 1758)
A beautifully marked longhorn, our first record of which was near Budby Pumping Station in June 2010, when one was found resting on the head of Knapweed (lower four photographs) but more recently turned up resting on Sallow at Eakring Flash in May 2011. With a length of around 15mm, this is an obvious species, but is scarce and classed as Nationally notable B.
