Looks a bit like a Phorocera to me and that would suit the early flight time too ... but it would be nice for confirmation from someone who sees them more than I do Smile

Thank you Chris. I come then to Phococera assimilis. Fore tarsus as long as fore tibia. Tergite 2 hollowed out to posterior edge. Middle black longitudinal stripes on thorax smaller than the dividing space.

Still welcome a confirmation.

Best regards,
