Came across this splendid creature yesetrday, sitting on a dock leaf.
Is it
syromastes rhombeus? and if not then I would be most please d to know. Have checked my guide book and this appears to be the closest, but many similar species.

best regards,
Jono

Have checked my book. Was one photo out, so feel I am getting slightly better at these id's.
Once again, many thanks,
Jono
