Hi, found on 04-July-2020 in a nature reserve, dry grassland/calcareous, Germany, Rhineland Palatinate, "Hoellberg" near Bad Kreuznach It was "dancing" and flapping its wings like I sometimes see with Sepsis, but approximately 1cm, thus much bigger than Sepsis sp. presumably on which its behaviour reminded me. Can it be further identified? Many thanks and regards, Stella |
