Some Sphiximorpha subsessilis appeared May 21st on an overmature Malus domestica with rot holes and sap runs in my garden. I could see 1 female and 2 males simultaneously as well as copula and oviposition and they are still here. 1. male dorsal, 2023-05-27 eklans attached the following image:  [47.08Kb] Edited by eklans on 01-06-2023 12:24 |
