Hello all,
I first thought it was
Peleteria rubescens, but somehow, I doubt it now that I have looked closer. Any opinion ?
10 mm approx. Reserve naturelle de Sclaigneaux, Belgium, on sandy soil.
August 7th.
Thanks for your help
Philippe

Thanks for your reply Theo. Now, if you ask for bad photos, I'm your man ;) (I'am having big trouble with my eyesight at the moment, and have almost given up macrophotography untill it's mended) Here is one, very bad indeed, but from a slightly different angle.
There were two individuals sitting in the high grass in a slightly shaded place. The biotope around it is generally a dry heathland, but this is in a kind of hollow.
