Could anyone please help with the id of these two specimens. I am presuming they are different species though with some clear similarities. Both were taken at the same time and place (20 April), sunning on a fence near a lake just outside Leicester. Many thanks |

I think these are female and male Phaonia subventa. Possibly the most common Ph. species. There are similar species to subventa though. The amount of black on the abdomen seems to be variable in this species. Males tend to have less black, females more.
