Hello! Is this Tanyptera atrata for sure, or are there similar species? Very impressing animal, about 30 mm with ovipositor! At forest border on beech stem (northwest Germany). Many (larger) pictures here: http://insektenfo...adid=41212 Juergen Peters attached the following image:  [85.37Kb] Edited by Juergen Peters on 14-04-2011 20:41 Best regards, Jürgen -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Juergen Peters Borgholzhausen, Germany WWW: http://insektenfo... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= |

Jürgen, Yep, T.atrata. The lookalike T.nigricornis has black trochanters. This specimen has orange ones. (she is full with eggs) Best regards, Andre |
