 Sized about 7 mm., found in an open agricultural area in Valladares-Vigo (Spain) at 300 mts. This specimen was resting first thing in the morning on dry grass. At noon time I saw other adults nearby flying continuously underneath the shade of fruit trees. I caught a couple to verify if was the same species.
Photo taken at 0830 hrs. onFeb., 11th 2008.
Thanks again for the help.
