No way, this is photoshopped Grin Never heard of this family, not found in Hungary. Hopefully in this year at the university I'll be able to spend some time in Portugal - hopefully I'll find some of the creatures You showed us Smile

I only used the photoshop just to little a crop and no more! Usually I must change the levels but this was not the case! : ) The original photo is like we see here! Wink



When will you come to Portugal?

Smile Not settled yet. It depends on if the inter-university project gets money from EU or not...

Thanks! This neuropter is so photogenic so the merit is for this berothid. Wink

Surely in Switzerland there are also many wonderful insects! Wink
