Help please! Jürgen already pointed me towards the genus, which seems to be another difficult one. Anyway, is there any hint on the species? RAiny meadow near our garden, Rheinbach near Bonn/Germany, 210m above sea level. 11. October 2025. I noted 6-8mm, but it might have been larger, I am rather bad in lenths. Thanks for your help, Jörg

I think it's a female Linnaemya picta - AFAICS. (I see discal bristles on T3, T4, red scutellum and red humeral callus and the protruding mouth edge.)
