Hi, found on 04-July-2020 in a nature reserve, dry grassland/calcareous, Germany, Rhineland Palatinate, "Hoellberg" near Bad Kreuznach It was "dancing" and flapping its wings like I sometimes see with Sepsis, but approximately 1cm, thus much bigger than Sepsis sp. presumably on which its behaviour reminded me. Can it be further identified? Many thanks and regards, Stella Stella M attached the following image:  [287.37Kb] |
