Phasia hemiptera or Ectophasia crassipennis? http://www.gardensafari.net/english/picpages/phasia_hemiptera.htm http://www.treknature.com/gallery/Europe/Belgium/photo32209.htm |

Looks like an Ectophasia spp. to me and crassipennis is the most common in northern mainland Europe. The key features I always look for are the basically orange abdomen with a thin central brown stripe and the wing patternation is more 'spotted'. In Phasia hemiptera the wings are usually dark all over, or if the colouring is reduced it is still 'patchy' and not so clear as Ectophasia.  |

Thanks Chris, Well, is that one the same? June 29, 2006, somewhat smaller (7-8mm), collected on flowers of Scirpus sylvaticus. |

Actually, I think it is (I had a brief moment of madness when I thought it was E.leucoptera) but now I think it is just the female E.crassipennis. Damn, I wish I had these in England!
