There were several specimens on Daucus, all with one very thick antenna segment (looks like it's the pedicel?). The pictures show two specimens (maybe male and female because of the different antenna pubescence?). 2016-08-21, northern Germany, garden, on Daucus carota Lennart Bendixen attached the following image:  [298.42Kb] Edited by Lennart Bendixen on 18-02-2017 14:14 |

Micromya lucorum In the Micromyinae, male Micromya are distinguished by the enlarged pedicel. In the Lestremiinae, Allarete and Conarete have similar antennae. All these genera form male mating swarms. There is only one species of Micromya in Europe. |
