Hello pengie,

The habitat sounds typical of E. strigatus. However, there are very few recent recordings of E. sogdianus in the netherlands and Belgium. The two sightings where I know of are from the coast where no E. strigatus were found. Could you upload a photo of the specimens femur (E. funeralis is far more common and can be hard to recognize and also has no hook on the stylus)

The species with the red antennae which could be expcted are E. ornatus and E. pulchellus. Those species occur in old forests on small sunlit areas.

Greetings,

Ectemnius
