Last weekend at Vallibierna Valley, Huesca, Aragon, Spain, at about 1700 meters high. Habitat: alpine prairies with florwers and some zones of pine forest (Pinus uncinata). Size: maybe 1 cm (much lesser than the enormous Anthidium that feed in my garden in Zaragoza, at 200 meters...) Is possible the ID?    Thanks  |

Hello, It seems me that the males are identifiable by the spines on the end of the abdomen. I'm not sure at all, anyway, that this is a male. Pierre Duhem |

Only some males are identifiable by the abdominal spines. Normally, other characters are needed. In the present specimen, I cannot say what species it is. Number of Anthidium species in the mediterranean area is very high. |

Thanks to both. It's a pity that the identification was impossible... |
