Hello!

This was not of the very small ones, about 9-11 mm, yesterday at forest clearing (northwest Germany).

This is Meligramma cincta, a nice female :). Females are not in the gallery yet ;)

Thanks a lot! That species was numerous here at end of April and beginning of May: http://insektenfo...adid=15400.
But this one now seemed to have broader and lighter stripes than those, so I thought it was another species...
