Argh ... I always get beaten by them ... I ruled them out because I didn't think they were 8-10mm in size

Thank you Theo and Chris, I was not correct telling about 'The antennestructure', that part is called arista and I should have known.. You don't think it was 8-10mm.., that must be smaller I guess..?? (Mostly I take the size to big, maybe I am a bit mislead by the macro-effect of the picture) Greeting, Robert Heemskerk ---- WWW: http://robertheem...ndedag.htm --- |

Well, I should have trusted my eyes - the bristles on the parafacials and the hairs on the wing veins made me think of Triarthria but I didn't check the arista, otherwise I'd have been more confident to make that ID
