Hi, Please don't tell me the photos are bad - I know myself. This was a very small representative of the Hymenoptera that crawled on my window pane on 6 April, not easy to photograph. It seems to have a nice colouration, and my search for a family led me to Pamphiliidae - something like Acantholyda posticalis. However, I may be absolutely wrong, so is there any expert who recognizes the small visitor? Many thanks, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [156.28Kb] |

This looks a bit too neat for a pamphilid - they're usually much broader, but I suspect this is a male, so maybe OK .... no, I don't know!

The head does not resemble, it is broader too! It would however be said that the posterior edge of the pronotum is right as at Pamphilidae.... I do not know either!  Third very long article of the antennas, perhaps Xyelidae???? Edited by cthirion on 16-04-2008 23:27 cthirion |

I also noticed the peculiar antennae. Xyelidae might be a very good idea! Many thanks, Sundew |
