Panurgus spec. Species ID by photo is not possible here, but in Spain is dentipes a very common species. Regards, Christian |

Thanks a lot. I have a previous picture of Panurgus cf. dentipes, identified here, and had a very, very big head, this mating ones have a "normal" head, it is important? |

Size of head varies, but it also may be annother species. P. calcaratus also is common. In any case it is a Panurgus, and also flower relationships supports this diagnosis. Panurgus is restricted to (yellow) Asteraceae. Regards, Christian |
