Hello!

Is this a Morellia male? If so, it is the largest one of this genus I have ever seen: about 7-8 mm. Found four days ago at forest (northwest Germany).

Not Morellia (t2 have a pv). It is Eudasyphora or Dasyphora.

Thanks! Because of the size I also thought of these at first. But then I noticed the broad middle band ("bar"Wink on the thorax. Isn't that characteristic for Morellia?
Best regards,
Jürgen

1. I can add that Morellia never has so bluish-green color, nor Dasyphora so few dusting.
2.

Hello, Nikita!

Thanks to you, too!

That is mostly an attribute I can't recognize on my photos Frown. A possible hair covering usually drowns in diffusion... I think it needs much more experience than I have to recognize such things on pictures with the quality of mine.
