Hello,

sorry for the imprecise title, but I have no idea where to look. Please help!

Data: Germany, Lower Saxony, Rodenberg, 90 m, feeding on Anthemis tinctoria, 28 June 2021.

Best wishes,
Tina.

Good morning Tina, I'm quite sure it's a male Bellardia vulgaris:

The hairs on tergite 4 are much shorter than the marginals and the wing veins are more brownish - excludes B. viarum.
There's only one posteroventral bristle on tibia I - excludes B. pandia.
