Hi,

I took the photo on 2 June 2014 Kokkola, Finland.

Hi Pentti,
I guess this could be Helina sexmaculata, but this hard to count the dorsocentral with the pin in the middle of the view, and to see the thoracic pattern with such a poorly contrasted picture (all seems sepia coloured). Has the abdomen dark spots ?

Hi,
I don't have any other pictures of this particular insect.

Thanks a lot!

Regards Pentti.
