Hello! I always have difficulties with Phasia females. This one (7-8 mm) is from our courtyard today (northwest Germany). P. aurigera?

Phasia aurigera female would be my guess - I have never seen one but I can't think what else would have orange abdominal side patches - definitely not P.hemiptera (no orange hair on the pleurae) and not P.obesa/aurulans

Those orange markings were the reason, why I also thought it must have been aurigera.

Yes, it is aurigera female, very different from male, but very recognisable. Theo |
