Yes, This seems to be Hydrotea On the french forum for insects, I read that Hydrotea with white calypters is ID as Hydrotea capensis, is this true ? Is it what I see (the white calypters) on this picture ? Edited by Tetrao on 27-03-2022 14:08

So now everything is correct ! Here is an other one that could help for the ID. Thank you both again and accept my apologies ...
