Hello all, I first thought it was Peleteria rubescens, but somehow, I doubt it now that I have looked closer. Any opinion ? 10 mm approx. Reserve naturelle de Sclaigneaux, Belgium, on sandy soil. August 7th. Thanks for your help Philippe Philippe moniotte attached the following image: [91.87Kb] A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. www.entomopix.eu |

Thanks for your reply Theo. Now, if you ask for bad photos, I'm your man (I'am having big trouble with my eyesight at the moment, and have almost given up macrophotography untill it's mended) Here is one, very bad indeed, but from a slightly different angle. There were two individuals sitting in the high grass in a slightly shaded place. The biotope around it is generally a dry heathland, but this is in a kind of hollow.
