Hi, Yesterday evening I saw many grey flies sitting on the ripening panicles of the abundant Calamagrostis epigeios. According to the black abdomen marks I consider them Helina. Can be said more? The pictures show the same individual. Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [167.23Kb] Edited by Sundew on 27-07-2010 00:04 |

Many thanks, Joke, you did your best (as always  ). These little ones were so numerous, it would have been easy to take pictures also of a slim male. However, for technical reasons the fat females seemed to be better depictable by the camera. Now I know - males are needed... |
