believe it or not... but today I .... found another acrocerid!!! :o What are the probabilities to find another acrocerid if this sentence (yes, I showed it before..) is true: "They are cosmopolitan in distribution but rarely observed in most places; the majority of the over 500 species are known from fewer than 10 specimens. They are found most commonly in semi-arid tropical locations."? :) This time was above Rubus sp. leaf. It was my third acrocerid. It is Cyrtus as well. For species... I must see better the legs and proboscis, but probably is the same species (I have collected it..). I found it in the same place and at almost same hour. About 2.30 pm with strong Sun. (finally good weather that arrived today in June solstice!).
