Field Notes

Description:

Black saw-fly with red legs feeding on a fly of some kind, about 20 mm body lenght, 25-30 mm wingspan.

Habitat:

Protected mixed forest, on a road.

Notes:

I'm not certain about this species, but the closest i could find was Platycampus luridiventris, though the wingspot compared with the veinstructure points towards a subspecies.
Platycampus luridiventris is on the national redlist of Norway as of 2010 as LC.
