Hello,
It is obviously Xylota season at the moment - we have a lot of them sunbathing on big leaves all around, and yesterday I could take some better pictures as in the previous thread. Can X. segnis be confirmed?
Thanks, Sundew

This is definitely X. segnis.

Yep! I agree. Just looking at the thorns/spines on leg 3 (femur)... it's segnis.

Many thanks, friends - I always become very happy when I am able to put a good name to some of my photos. (Lots of them are still waiting!)
