Stictoleptura cordigera (Fuesslin, 1775)
Family : Cerambycidae
Subfamily: Lepturinae

Body length: 14 - 20 mm
Life cycle: 2 - 3 years [?]
Adults in: June - August
Host plant: polyphagous in deciduous trees (Quercus, Pistacia, Castanea)
Distribution: South Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, Transcaucasia, North Iran, Near East (Cerambyx)

According the taxonomists, there are 3 subspecies:
Stictoleptura cordigera cordigera (Fuesslin, 1775)
Stictoleptura cordigera illyrica (Müller, 1948)
Stictoleptura cordigera anojaensis (Sláma, 1982)

Maybe this one is a Stictoleptura cordigera anojaensis, which can be found also in Crete.

Photo taken on Ikaria island, on a Wild Carrot (Daucus carota) flower.
________________________________________________________
Le Lepture cordigère porte-cœur est un longicorne coloré aux élytres rouges avec une tache noire caractéristique en forme de cœur. Le bout des élytres est également noir. Le protonum, la tête et les pattes sont noirs.

Les taxonomistes distinguent trois sous-espèces :
Stictoleptura cordigera cordigera (Fuesslin, 1775)
Stictoleptura cordigera illyrica (Müller, 1948)
Stictoleptura cordigera anojaensis (Sláma, 1982)

Celui-ci est peut-être le Stictoleptura cordigera anojaensis, que l’on retrouve aussi en Crète.

Photo prise sur l’île d’Ikaria, sur une fleur de Carotte sauvage (Daucus carota).

Hi Catherine, Your Canon macro lens and the 40D work so well in your hands. You keep turning out fine work. This one is a fine side view of this colourful bug. Which you have taken with fine detail and natural colours. Well done TFs.

Hi MF Catherine, a splendid macro of this pretty cerambycid from nice POV in a charming atmosphere with excellent clarity and fine composition.
TFS and Have a nice time while i am not available here! Goodbye MF!

Buena aproximación Catherine, con buerna interpretación del espacio y bien captada la cabeza del insecto, con la dificultad que conlleva, por su pequeño tamaño y su color negro.
Buen trabajo.
