Today I found this tiny Sepsis sp. against one of our walls. It was just a few mm long. Would it be possible to tell which species of Sepsis this is from this rather poor picture? Thank you in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [107.39Kb] Edited by Jan Zwaaneveld on 08-02-2008 18:13 http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

Hello Amalia, I also thought it might be Sepsis cynipsea, after checking photos in the gallery. But I know too little of Sepsis to be sure. Thanks for your opinion!

I think S.punctum. 3 reasons: 3. yellow legs, reddish abdomen 2. I can see only 1 pair dc 1. In Febr-March I've never seen another species than fulgens and punctum Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hello, Nikita! Nikita Vikhrev wrote: 1. In Febr-March I've never seen another species than fulgens and punctum In the moment S. fulgens is very numerous here (Ostwestfalen/Germany). But this one yesterday was considerably larger (4 mm) and has a red "belt". Is this S. punctum, too?
