Supertribe Lasiopteridi, based on wing and antenna.

Hello Natalja,
how big was it? It looks to me (but I am no expert) like a male
Mikiola fagi, a rather big (4-6 mm), reddish species, which is very abundant here in beech forests in spring.

Hi Jürgen,
yes, the size was rather 6-7 mm (including wings), and it was a mixed forest..
Best regards,
Natalija
