Hello, I try another time to present you a member of the Sepsidae. This one has no dark spot on the wings, therefore it could be another genus than Sepsis itself. I am curious to hear your opinion! Location is Berlin in September. Thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [153.46Kb] |

Without the wing spot it will be a Themira |

Wing slightly darkened at apex, I think it is Nemopoda nitidula

Two experts - two different suggestions... After a close look to all gallery pics of the two genera I tend to join Nikita's opinion but shall keep Themira in mind. Many thanks to both of you, Sundew |

Pale legs, most likely Nemopoda.

My vote goes to Nemopoda - very probably N. nitidula, but it is not possible to be 100% sure without a collected (male) specimen.

Well, it seems that Phil is outvoted this time and Nemopoda has won the match. I am highly pleased and grateful to all, Sundew |
