This one is very interesting ! It is the male of a very rare Winthemia species. Two are very similar: speciosa and venusta. The date of emergence suggests this should be speciosa. Are you sure about the host ? That would be new . Theo |

Ok ! Did you collect the specimen ? Even the expert I consulted is not sure whether this is speciosa or venusta. I would be very pleased if the specimen was collected and could be made avallable for identification ! If so, send me a PM. Thanks Theo |
