20 june 2009, The Netherlands, Voorsterbos.
In deciduous forrest near small stream.

I can't find a similar species in the gallery, but perhaps i overlook it. Close to Euthycera?

My photos of Euthycera fumigata look rather similar.
Yours is very good quality! I have always problems as to an insufficient depth of focus if I try to depict this species...

Not fumigata, it is E.chaerophylli

Are you sure Nikita? The border of the wings seem a bit too dark for E. charophylii. Furthermore the arista doesn't seem to be long-plumose (and not mainly black), more densely whitis pubescent. This all seems to match E. fumigata more closely. Furthermore only a few specimens of E. charophylii are known from The Netherlands, which I admit is not much of an argument.

Of course, Jan, I got confused: arista is white and it surely means that it is not chaerophylli!
