Looks very similar to Epistrophe eligans as it eats aphids on Sambucus nigra |

Hello Hedy & Rafael, Actually, Epistrophe eligans can easily be recognised as a larvae by the posterior spiracle that is much longer then wide and a longitudal white stripe across it entire length. This larvae's posterior spiracle is short and has no longitudal white stripe... I couldn't say wich species this is, but not E. eligans... Kind regards, Ectemnius Edited by Ectemnius on 21-10-2019 20:20 |
