Hello,

is my determination correct, if a determination by these fotos is possible?

Location: Germany, Rhineland-Palatinum, 53572 Unkel, river Rhine valley, Stux hill, dry and warm habitat (grapeyards), meadow in front of a grapeyard, 15. 07. 2017.

Thanks in advance,

Michael

Hi,

as far as I know, females cannot be identified after a photo. Does this not apply anymore?
Best regards,

Males are easily distinguished from males of other species, because their abdomens protrude the length of their wings. That does not apply to females!
