Moumoule
Hello,

Sorry for the low quality of the pictures, the subject is about 20mm and he was "dancing" alone on this guardrail 50m from a river in Reynès deep south of France on June 17th of this year during mid-day. When I tried to get closer to take the pictures, he stopped dancing and was adopting a kind of self-defense position (pic 1) with his two front legs in the air. I've been looking in several insects books and on the internet for 2 months now and I can't find who is this guy ! But you seem to be the right persons to ask this question !

I hope you can help me putting a name on his face and tell me a bit about him, I'm verry curious. Don't hesitate to ask me if you want more details about his behavior or I don't know...

Sorry for my bad English, I'm French...

Thanks a lot !
