eheh Oslo of Florida.  Not Norway  No way to find Mydidae in Northern countries This photo was taken by Sean on 8th June 2006. Maybe Mydas cf. clavatus as Sean think... I agree with Mydas, for the rest I don?t know.  |

Hi Jorge, Yes, the species is most probbaly Mydas clavatus - the most common Mydidae in the eastern USA. There is only one other Mydas species (atratus) with a similar orange abdominal tergite 2, but in that species the second abdominal sternite is also orange.
