Thanks for sharing the spotting with us. :) Always good to learn!
NicoleB
Grin, Dangermouse. Thanks for the good laugh :D
Ashish
At all Alice was accurate... Her observation is great..!! An Dangermouse.. Perfect hint..!!
Dangermouse
Lol, I saw the name and the first thing I thought was 'bless you!' Now that's a name and a half! Well done on finding him, and a finding a great site for ID-ing bugs in Korea. Go, you! :)
NicoleB
Found him, Dangermouse, thanks! And found a cool page for critters in Korea: http://www.nature.go.kr:9001/index.do Guess it's my lucky day :P
NicoleB
@Dangermouse Thanks! Will check It is fun when you have good guides, but searching for bugs in Korea (and here in Kuwait) is like looking for a needle in a haystack ;-)
Dangermouse
The only thing I've seen which is similar is part of the Lygaeus family. Don't know if that's any help or not. ID-ing bugs is so much fun!
NicoleB
@Ashish Close, but not a total match either. See the two black spots on top of my fellow? http://www.co1bank.uoguelph.ca/views/taxbrowser.php?taxid=373720
NicoleB
@Alice No problem, it's good to get an idea where to start looking :) I'll start adding the country in the notes ;-) @Saarbrigger I don't even have my books, they are back 'home' since I thought I don't need them in Egypt (then Kuwait) :( @Ashish Will check, my Internet is not cooperative right now, hope it sorts itself out soon :( Thanks!

It looks a bit like the yellow brother of "Corizus hyoscyami". I could not find it in my books. :-(

I'm sorry I forgot you were in Korea. It is not likely to be the same name there. This is a name for here in the States.
NicoleB
Thanks for the starting point, Alice! Can't find one with these markings, but will keep looking!
