I took pictures of this chloropidae on 8th August 2022 in Den Helder in The Netherlands. Can someone tell me which species is this? Thanks a lot.

Chloropidae, Chloropinae: Cetema spec., males are necessary to identify Cetema spp. with certainty.

This female is attacked by two Erythraeidae mites (Acari, Parasitengona) which abundantly parasitize also other chloropids which develop in grasses, e.g. Oscinella frit (L.).
