Hello,
South of France, September 03, 2024.
It was collecting earth to coat its eggs.
Its position did not allow me to measure it but the length of a wing is 10 mm.
I'm thinking of the Villa genus but I've never seen one with such white hair. Is this a criterion for a species or a discoloration?
Thanks for your help with identification
