Hi, Here is a huge female i found dead in a lake this summer, at foot of reeds, where i guess she was primely laying eegs (?) Abdomen is really orange, so i ended out on T eggeri, but Jura seems to be a strange place to find a mediterranean specie, so i think i should stay on my first idea: bovinus/sudeticus (a little preference on sudeticus)  Clovis : France : Doucier : 39130 : 17/7/2013 Altitude : 520 m - Taille : 22mm Réf. : 128891  Clovis : France : Doucier : 39130 : 17/7/2013 Altitude : 520 m - Taille : 22mm Réf. : 128892  Clovis : France : Doucier : 39130 : 17/7/2013 Altitude : 520 m - Taille : 22mm Réf. : 128893 |

Yes, that is a pretty nice find, indeed. I am curious if it is a migrant or whether there might be a population. Rectus reached the Netherlands once and spodopterus the northern border of Poland. These things happen once in ten years. Theo |
