Found dead on a flower in a field near Reading, UK, on 2012-08-12. I think this might be Panzeria laevigata = Ernestia laevigata. Is this correct? tristram attached the following image:  [154.63Kb] Edited by tristram on 17-08-2012 21:19 |

Looks like Eurithia anthophila to me, from the very shiny tergite5  Saw one myself (first of the year) over at the Warburg reserve, near Henley.

The shining tergite 5 indicates Eurithia anthophila, Ernestia laevigata lacking apical scutellar setae, by the way..

Well laevigata is a spring species. Anthophila is your first option in August (in Western Europe) Theo |
