2012-08-12, found ovipositing on an old (empty) head of gras in a forest at the Wollenberg/Marburg, central Germany.
Is it a species of Asteiidae? Regards, Ingo

Thank you Paul. I found a male a day ago at the same location and I think it should belong to the same species. Is this right? Regards, Ingo

Quite well possible. If you kept a specimen, then it will be possible to ID it to species level.
