Hello! I nearly didn't take a photo because there were so many Phasia hemipteras and aurigeras here (Ostwestfalen/Germany) at the Mentha blossoms in the last days, that I didn't look closer. It was not until I looked at this pic on the PC, when I realized that this male looked different. Could it be Ectophasia crassipennis? I did not find that species here, yet (mainly occurs more to the south in Germany). Because I did not look close while on location, I'm also not sure, whether this is the same individual. Or is this one really a P. hemiptera (abdomen marking doesn't look like E. crassipennis)? http://www.foto-u...era_M1.jpg Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Hello, Kahis! Kahis wrote: Look at the main page You mean Phasia aurigera? I did not think of that species, because they are normally somewhat smaller here, and the male don't have such broad wings (unlike P. hemiptera). I only compared with those P. aurigera males, which occured "normal" to me: http://insektenfo...eadid=9570 (And I was upset by the idea to have finally found E. crassipennis here...  )Possibly the same phenomenon as in P. hemiptera with its normal "Schwarzenegger" and more female like males? http://www.dipter...post_33311 In this case the female like ones would be in the majority.

a 'macho' male (see thread some months ago on Phasia hemiptera, works similar in aurigera) Theo |
