Is it possible to determine which
Villa this is?
Oslo, Norway August 17, 2007. Possibly laying egg in sandy path?
Regards

Villa hottentotta.
V. modesta has white hairs on the last abdominal segment and the 'scales' on the sides on the head (behind the eye) are pure white.

There are other species with white/whitish hair and head 'scales' (not real scales like in lepidoptera, but they look like them), But at least here in north Europe specimens with clearly yellow hairs and yellowish scales will be
hottentotta.
