No way, this is photoshopped :D Never heard of this family, not found in Hungary. Hopefully in this year at the university I'll be able to spend some time in Portugal - hopefully I'll find some of the creatures You showed us :)

I only used the photoshop just to little a crop and no more! Usually I must change the levels but this was not the case! : ) The original photo is like we see here! ;)



When will you come to Portugal?

:) Not settled yet. It depends on if the inter-university project gets money from EU or not...

Thanks! This neuropter is so photogenic so the merit is for this berothid. ;)

Surely in Switzerland there are also many wonderful insects! ;)
