Hi Cammie, please can you add the scientific name to this (Meloe sp.) & make sure you include it on your other spottings when they are identified. This is important as the system uses this information to link similar spottings & is also how we generate scientific data from the site. Thanks!

Looks like a pregnant female, judging from that abdomen.
