Hi.
I often see these on top of straw bales in the morning.

It is a male of Pherbellia schoenherri, known as very specialised parasitoid of Succinea but not of straw bales. Recently Galba was figured out as an alternative host. Which minimum/maximum temperature do you have at moment on these straw bales?
