Very interesting.

I found the species 28th of july in Ostend, Belgium on the shore.
Underneath a small bush of Ammophila arenaria (without any other plant in a radius of 200m nearby) me and my collegue found 100's of dead Eutropha fulvifrons - diffucult to estimate true numbers, but I would guess around 500 underneath the single bush! Incredible to see.
Few living ones.

I'm quit new to Chloropids, so I would be happy if anybody can confirm?
Best,
Jonas
