As you can see, it was perched at the tip of a Symphytum officinale leaf in a large wet wasteland in Villeneuve dAscq (Nord, France). The head has a distinctive shape, and the antennae are black with a long white arista. As for the insect's identity, Chlorops frontosus has been suggested to me. This is possible, but I don't really recognize the abdomen (particularly the colours) in the photos I have seen of this species. What is your opinion on this ? Thank you in advance, Dominique |
