Yes, clearly. Very interesting, this species is little seen in the field and largely collected with malaise traps. Can you fill us in with some details ? (time of day, where, ....) Thanks Theo |

Thank You Theo  I found it in my parklike and little wild garden edged with forest. In a sheltered corner with sun from east and south. Very cloudy and dark, but the time was half past 12 in the middle af the day. Very wet as we have had a lot of rain lately. It was¨dancing round on a Pineapple sage (Salvia elegans) leaf. It moved a couple of meters to a low Salix bush, where second picture were taken. Then it disappeared in the bushes. I believe it to be new or at least very rare in Denmark. Best Regards Erik |

I am pretty convinced (from chats with people who turn up rare Siphonini) that a lot of the trick to getting them is to sweep scrubby foliage, like bushes, from the ground up to about head height, on woodland margins ... not open grassy/flowery areas.
