 I would appreciate if somebody could help me identify this one. Quite small, aprox. 5-6 mm. Shot in Sierra Nevada (Granada, S Spain) at 2000 masl.

 Looks like an interesting Gymnosoma sp. - it has a lot of dusting on the head and thorax - but I'd need to see a specimen to identify it Smile

 Thanks all. Unfortunately I do not recolect any specimen and I do not have any other photos. Sierra Nevada has a very large number of endemic species of insects and plants, so it has a rare chance of being rare.
