Looks very similar to Epistrophe eligans as it eats aphids on Sambucus nigra

Hello Hedy & Rafael,

Actually, Epistrophe eligans can easily be recognised as a larvae by the posterior spiracle that is much longer then wide and a longitudal white stripe across it entire length. This larvae's posterior spiracle is short and has no longitudal white stripe...
I couldn't say wich species this is, but not E. eligans...

Kind regards,

Ectemnius
