Ghostly beautiful!

Patara beach and dunes, SW Turkey. I guess Atylotus spec, but can it be ID at species level?

Thanks Jorge! Yes, it's beauty and I was very pleased to find this model.

The females had a knack for me, but asked something in return while not offering any nice photo opportunity...

website will take time...autumn, or even winter I'm afraid.

I did already, but my post got lost.

It should be A.pulchellus, very distinctive species.
