The earliest date that this stunning creature has been found at Tophill Low and surrounding area I believe, unless there are other records of this magnificent thistle and hogweed dweller out there. Now recorded for the fourth year in succession, unless other records are forthcoming... much better looking than the other longhorns that appear.
Some nice pictures of Agapanthia villosoviridescens
And the scientific name is a struggle to get the tongue around... but sounds so much better than Golden-Bloomed Grey Longhorn Beetle!
