Location: Midwest Sweden (Dalsland) Date: 2007-JUL-21 Habitat: By gravel road through coniferous wood with bogs I understand Gymnosoma is hard to ID. Maybe a couple in copula makes it easier to ID? I have a few more photos of various quality if some other angle would be needed. She took this guy for quite a ride ... Edited by crex on 21-02-2008 19:00 |

Not a very good photo, but hope it helps. It's not much dusting on female thorax. |

That's exactly what I wanted to check. So, only Theo could ruin my perfect ID... I hope....  |

I'm not sure, light is tricky, but it looks like nudifrons to me.... Theo |

G. nudifrons. Sounds like we need a good view of the frons to decide, or is it just thorax dusting that differs!? Thanks both! I appreciate your efforts!  |

We need the frons of the female. You can see it in the last pic, but there is a shade of the male, which makes me cautious. Theo |

Too bad the one I have of the female frons is out of focus  |

I'm starting to think that Andre's first guess might be correct..... But out of focus, as mentioned, not sure Theo |
