Hi, I've found this copulating couple today near to my compost heap. The male looks like D. suzukii - but can a female be that dark? (Ansbach, DE-Middle-Franconia) Thanks a lot for your help. Greetings, Eric eklans attached the following image:  [83.35Kb] Edited by eklans on 03-11-2020 11:30 |

There is a whole range in the degree of darkening in the females. Darkest specimens usually found early or late in the seaon.
