Hello Lukasz, it appears to me a fine female Eccoptomera. Most of the specimens, which I collected, were indeed collected on snow. cheers, Ruud ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

If you put a knife on my throat I would say a E. emarginate Lw, but maybe others will have another opinion. Better to look at the specimen a bit closer cheers, ruud van der weele rvanderweele@gmail.com |

The body colouration is closer to my cat than to Eccoptomera

4 what? 4 Eccoptomera`s? No more. I collected them even sometimes in small series on snow in Budapest. I think I collected about 15 specimens. But I should check in my pc upstairs, and I am too lazy right now

Orbellia? Oef, when coming back to Holland I looked for years to Orbellia`s on snow. Never found them, while they were pretty common in Hungary. I collected some series even on the factory walls, where I worked as an engineer. At least every sunny day in winter I saw some. This was, BTW, O. hiemalis. O. cuniculorum I collected only once.
