Hello everyone,

can my determination be correct? There are many species which look similar.

Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), nearby deciduous forest (oak, Fagus ...), April 19th, 2025

Thanks in advance,

Michael
