Hello!
This year there are more
Phasias around than I have ever seen! In the last weeks it was almost exclusively
P. hemiptera, but yesterday there were at least 3-4 species from 3.5 to 15 mm. For the first time in late summer there were many
P. aurigera. Interestingly the males seemed to prefer the
Solidago canadensis flowers, while the female visited the
Mentha plants nearby. All from Ostwestfalen/Germany.
