Hello,
I found this
Elachiptera in my garden (in the city of Lille, France) in January 6, 2026. The insect was found in the small orange berries of a Pyracantha bush.
My photos are not very good but, if the species can be identified, could it be
E. graeca or
E. bimaculata, with a preference for one of these two species ?
Thank you in advance for your opinions.
Dominique
