H. crassicornis? Size: ~8mm Date: 3 August 2008 Location: On my poor leg! And I was standing on a small forest road close to a field (Helsingborg, Sweden) It only seemed to attack me when I was in the shade (came back sveral times), but if I only took a smal step out in the sun it didn't attack me. Thanks for help! lagura attached the following image:  [66.77Kb]  |

Did you flash ? If so, it might very well be pluvialis (why does it matter: the wing pattern is too bold for pluvialis. However, with a flash it might turn into this. On the other hand, the date suggests pluvialis not crassicornis and there seems to be a brown spot at base of third antennal segment, but out of focus, so....) Theo |

Yes, I used flash. Diffused though, but still. Thanks.

So, I'd really like to see the abdomen or the antenna more clearly. The date still strongly favours pluvialis. Theo |

Well, since she was sitting on my leg, and quite low, I had to bend over and take the photos from above. So I'm afraid I can't offer much of her abdomen. Here is another one, slightly from the side. I can see brown on the antennae. lagura attached the following image:  [101.37Kb] |

Ok, nice, repeated request, please post all pictures at once. This picture is obviously pluvialis. Theo |

Well, I'm afraid I can't offer any other angles. These are the remaining of the set I took that day.
