That is a juf which is short for juffrouw. You may have to stand in the
corner if you would call her juffer.

Isn't it also the word for a female teacher or is that only in Flanders?

Nice one.
I like the Dutch name. A 'Juffer' in our local dialect is a virgin,
often as 'aal Juffer', a not very flattering term for an older female.

I'm happy to see this flying around at present.
Later in April other species will emerge from their larval case.
