An old road, edge of pine wood, around 6 p.m. Size of the 2 collected specimens 11 and 12 mm. I think it looks very similar to Hemipenthes morio in the Gallery.

Many thanks David.
By the way, I wonder where do they disappear as the sun goes down? I passed that place at 8 p.m., there was none of them. I seldom see them visiting flowers (except in spring). Maybe they perch somewhere hidden in grass jungle?...
