Hello,

after comparing all Epistrophe species in my books I guess it's a male Epistrophe grossulariae . But it often has proven that I'am wrong, on the other side it's getting better and better. Smile Is it Epistrophe grossulariae ?

Location: Munich Germany, close to the river
Size: aprox 10mm

Best regards
Richard

Didea fasciata, G would have a fatter gist IMO.

I was thinking about D.fasciata first, but the the protrusion at r4 + 5 is missing for Didea.

Oh boy! My identification has definitely failed Shock Well, now that you mention it and after a 2nd comparation it's clear as glass. Thank you very much for helping me with this.
