At first it reminded me of Syritta pipiens but it is bigger (15-20mm) and hairier. Norway, July cyprinoid attached the following image:  [186.09Kb] Edited by cyprinoid on 18-08-2009 08:57 Hyperbolizer |

Thank you Roger, I am tempted to go for Xylota segnis, but I think I'll do whats right and file it as Xylota sp. since I have no clue how to seperate the 30 or so nearctic species ..
