Dear all,

Can someone help me ID this specimen of a Hydrotaea? A small swarm was hovering in a sunny patch surrounded by shrubs in my garden, the Netherlands, 01-May-2025.

Thank you very much mr. Vikhrev! Nice to see you described Azelia beuki, named after the founder of this website and friend Paul Beuk.

Kind regards, Jochem Kühnen.
