Hello, Susan!

I thought the M vein wasn't bent enough too, but then I saw Jan's new picture of Muscina stabulans in the gallery and wondered...maybe they vary a bit or maybe the angle of the shot is important in how you see the vein.
Ah, thanks! I did not see the newer pics, yet, only had a look at the
M. prolapsa photos. The vein in
stabulans seems to be much less bent than in
prolapsa, but still more than in my specimen. Unfortunately I don't know the other two
Muscina species here in Germany (
levida and
pascuorum, according to "Entomofauna germanica").
