falcata at Hastings CP
There may be some very clever
entomologically, taxonomically intriguing reason why it is called sickle
bearing but I assumed it was because its final abdominal
segment was curved like a sickle.
But assumption can be a dangerous
thing...any more academic reasons very welcome!!

Hi all- I'll give in & ask the question thats bothering me,
in the hope that someone has the (probably simple) answer, so that I can get
the animal fixed in my mind... why 'sickle?' which bit of the animal
does it refer to? many thanks- Lin.
