I pictured this specimen in Belgium on 2021-08-13. From other discutions it seems to be Stevenia sp. Is it possible to ID to the species ? According to the keys at https://www.mapre...24p041.pdf it could be Stevenia deceptoria with this orange ring at the end of antennal segment 2 ? Thank you for help !         . |

YEes, deceptoria. In just a few years time, it has become the most common Stevenia in our countries. Theo |

It was introduced accidentally to North and South America. Our native Rhinophoridae are rarely seen. The immigrants are much more common where people live. |
