From Wetland Kerkini, mid-summer. Sorry I don't remember more, it is on display in an education centre now but I would still like to know genus if possible.

You're sure about the family? Pronotum form, first legs and desingn of the wing resembles me very much ge genus
Pirates (Reduviidae).

Hi, Gordon,
definitely Reduviidae, and definitely
Peirates, the species could be
stridulus.

No of course I am not sure of the family. You see that's why you experts need to be out here visiting lake Kerkini, it just too much for one person who really just wants to be a poet who goes birdwatching occasionally.
Thanks to both Sue and Isidro.
