Today I saw this big-heades Atylotus. Could it be Atylotus rusticus female? It lookes very much the same as the one I saw a few weeks ago (09-06-2010). Can anyone confirm this? Tjitske Lubach attached the following image:  [190.72Kb] Tjitske Lubach |

Hello Theo, thanks for your reply. I am sorry, I keep forgetting to mention that. But (nearly) all my observations are made on our "Domaine de la Fontouret", Saint Gilles, Indre, France. About 300 km south of Paris. Tjitske Lubach |

I thought so. Yes, this should be rusticus Latistriatus can be very similar, but not to be expected at your locality Theo |

Thanks again Theo! There are not many pictures of A. rusticus in the gallery. Are these pictures good enough to contribute to the gallery? Tjitske Lubach |
