Hello!

I nearly didn't take a photo because there were so many Phasia hemipteras and aurigeras here (Ostwestfalen/Germany) at the Mentha blossoms in the last days, that I didn't look closer. It was not until I looked at this pic on the PC, when I realized that this male looked different. Could it be Ectophasia crassipennis? I did not find that species here, yet (mainly occurs more to the south in Germany).

Because I did not look close while on location, I'm also not sure, whether this is the same individual. Or is this one really a P. hemiptera (abdomen marking doesn't look like E. crassipennis)?

Hello, Kahis!

You mean Phasia aurigera? I did not think of that species, because they are normally somewhat smaller here, and the male don't have such broad wings (unlike P. hemiptera). I only compared with those P. aurigera males, which occured "normal" to me:

(And I was upset by the idea to have finally found E. crassipennis here... Wink)


Possibly the same phenomenon as in P. hemiptera with its normal "Schwarzenegger" and more female like males?

In this case the female like ones would be in the majority.
Best regards,
Jürgen
