Because of very wide head with eyes widely separated I expect this is some species of Gonia. But which one? Switzerland, Tessin, near Mavaglia at an altitude of approx 1500 m. Mountain meadows about to be mown. Near roadside at Achillea. End of July. Cor Zonneveld attached the following image:  [123.09Kb] Thanks for your attention Cor Zonneveld |

Very difficult to tell from the pictures. However, the additional information is useful. Most Gonia are early spring species. In Tessin 2 are summer species: capitata and bimaculata. And it is clearly not bimaculata, so capitata it should be Theo |
