  Cerambyx scopoli  Pyrrhocoris apterus  Idiocerus Herrichii

Idiocerus Herrichi - new cicada to Denmark. It is now known as the Bob-Bon cikade here in Denmark.

On the 5th August 2008  I went to the BonBon-Land amusement park with Oscar and Johanna. While they enjoyed the horrifying Hurlumhajen, I took pictures of  insects hardly to be seen. I did not recognize one, so I asked in the fugleognatur.dk forum. It was soon identified as Idiocerus Herrichii, never observed in Denmark before.

Horrible photos, but how would I know the importance thereof.

The discovery has been covered by newspapers all over the country, as well as television!  This is from the newspaper Sjællandske.
