Hello!

This male Muscina visited a banana in our garden (Ostwestfalen/Germany) two days ago, but I am not sure, whether it is the frequent M. levida or possibly another species (forelegs seem not all black). Any hint? Thanks!

Juergen

It's M prolapsa. It's not dark enough for M levida, and has strong, highly visible thoracic vittae.
