Yesterday at Sabi?anigo, Huesca, Aragon, Spain. Pre-Pyrenees, between mediterranean and atlantic climate (low mountain). This genial scene occurs in a sunned road, boarded by Genista scorpius, Satureja montana, Lavandula angustifolia, Eryngium campestre etc. The disperse trees in the zone are above all Ligustrum vulgare, Sorbus domestica, Populus nigra, Fraxinus angustifolia, Cornus sanguinea, etc. Each fly sizes about 8-9 mm long. I saw the couple flying and it looked a big one diptera, such as a male Dasypogon. I had top choose between photograph this cuple or a Colias alfacariensis... well, I loose the Colias  I'm not sure that was Anthrax, can be Hemipenthes but due to de much dark on the wings i think that is possible.  Thanks  |
