Found in the mud by a pond in area with mediterranean vegetation on 15.03.2014. Could this be a Diclasiopa?? Sorry the quality isn't the best. It was tiny (2-2,5 mm) and they wouldn't stop to save their life. There were many around, some displaying. What truely drove my attention were the reddish antennae and tarsi.

Thanks for whatever input on this tiny one ;) :)
