Hello,
With those pictures, can we go to a female of
Linnaemya tesselans ?

That would be my guess but it isn't an easy ID from photos ;)

It looks a lot like the female
L. picta I was seeing here in Suffolk in early October.

Thanks,
Do you think it's rather
Linnaemya picta because of red tibiae ?

That was my thinking, also the pale humerus.

Hmm, it's got a bit more black stubble on its chin too ... I thought it only had pale hairs on the gena, so it does look a bit more like picta then :)

Thanks Steve and Chris,
I saw in the key that
picta has not an oval wart on the inside of the second antennal segment.
Is it possible to see this feature on these pictures ?

Thanks, so this would confirm that it is not
tesselans.
