Hello,
It is not easy to give a genus to this insect (perhaps Helina but not sure at all). I found it in Villeneuve-d'Ascq (North of France) on May the 24 of this year. It was on the edge of a small dry pond.
Could somebody help me ?
Thank you in advance,
Dominique

Hello Dominique, it's really difficult to name the species from your photos, but I think it could be a Limnophora sp.
Greetings, Eric
