Hello Natalja,

how big was it? It looks to me (but I am no expert) like a male Mikiola fagi, a rather big (4-6 mm), reddish species, which is very abundant here in beech forests in spring.
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hi Jürgen,

yes, the size was rather 6-7 mm (including wings), and it was a mixed forest..

Best regards,
