Hello Theo,

Look on Heracleum for the very small barbifrons.


yes, I found it there in big numbers in the last years, but not this year. Only several P. obesa and one or two P. hemiptera yesterday.

And in 1-2 weeks time, aurgiera should appear.

That one was also numerous in the last years (mainly on Mentha), but in 2018 I only found one single male specimen (pic below) - on September, 5th, at rather low temperatures in a forest (!).
