The really wide abdomen, small head and mottled dusting pattern are good indicators of Trixa ... I just wasn't sure whether there was an alternative species in Germany ![]() Manager of the UK Species Inventory in the Angela Marmont Centre for UK Biodiversity at the Natural History Museum, London. |

There is caerulescens as well in Germany, which lacks the darkening of the crossvein r-m (and many other features, invisible in these pics) Theo |
