Very nice and very fortisetosa !!
This species has been introduced from the eastern Palaearctic region (long ago) and is now well established in Czeck republic.
Its host is Sika deer Cervus nippon, well established exotic deer in Europe.
Note that the periode of flight of fortisetosa is much earlier than L. cervi:
fortisetosa June - August
cervi August - October
