Hi,
Today I met two Dioctrias in our garden. As to leg colouration, the first one recalls D. hyalipennis, recently identified by Danny in another thread of mine. However, the the hind femora of the second one are not that dark. Is it another species?
Many thanks for help, Sundew

Hi,

all are Dioctria hyalipennis. The colour of the legs are rather variable in this species.

Greetings, Danny Wolff
