Hello! The tiny Phasia barbifrons are very numerous here (northwest Germany) at the moment. This afternoon I could also photograph a bigger one (ca. 8 mm) on Solidago canadensis. Is this P. aurigera or perhaps aurulans? (I'm not 100% sure, if all pics show the same specimen.)

Pic #5 This one seems to have a more distinct 'M' marking on the thorax. So seems to be a different individual.

Hello, Theo! Zeegers wrote: First one of this autumn..... (a typical september species) According to my records my earliest observation is from May-05, 2006 . I have no photo of that unfortunately, but the one below is from June-14-2005.But you're right: my earliest record of the second generation dates from August-28, 2008. All other sightings are from early September or later.
