Hi,

I keyed this to Hebecnema affinis which is now Hebecnema vespertina, unless things have changed?

26th April 2011, my garden near Lincoln UK.

I got a male 3 days after the female which looks the same species so I'm posting that here too.

There are no photos of a female in the gallery, if this can be confirmed I will add the female.

I thought the halter on the female was yellow, now I'm not sure, could it be brownish?

OK for the female, but the male is an Hydrotaea !

Thanks Stephane. One out of two correct is not bad? Grin

I have photos of the male Hebecnema vespertina I'm sure, but I'm suffering from fly overload. Wink

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
