Member Location: Vienna, Austria Posts: 1869 Joined: 23.06.15	Thanks Theo. In the gallery, there are only entries under H. auripila. Is its actual status that of a subspecies of H. aterrima or a full species? Cheers, Lorin Font Color All requests are from the urban area of Vienna, if not otherwise stated.

Member Location: Vienna, Austria Posts: 1869 Joined: 23.06.15	ok thanks again, so I was wondering, as no aterrima pics are in the gallery, whether this observation can be added, or is the ID not that safe?
