Hello!

After I have been told that M. prolapsa can also have completely dark legs, I am very unsure... :| There are many Muscina on the wing these days (7-8 °C, sunny, northwest Germany). Some are comparably big (8-10 mm) and lighter, some small and dark. Can I conclude that the lighter ones are more likely M. prolapsa?

Hi Juergen!

I would say Muscina prolapsa! The cell R4+5 is more closed. Best wait for confirmation from Stephane though! ;)
