Hi, I found my first Ceriana in the garden on a chery laurel today (DE-Middle-Franconia, near old deciduous forest).
Can it be conopsoides? Not sure about the colours. Unfortunately I could only take this photo.

Thanks for your ideas!

Greetings
Eric

This is not Ceriana, it would have to have antenas placed not on the frons but on one "stick", they would form Y shape.

This is Sphiximorpha subsessilis.
