Hi, found this couple 20200924 on a sallow with Tuberolachnus salignus and hundreds of Vespula germanica/vulgaris. I'm not sure if it's signatus or brevirostris and appreciate to read your ideas. Thanks in advance, Eric eklans attached the following image:  [188.33Kb] Edited by eklans on 26-09-2020 11:06 |

Hi Eric, These are very nice photo's of a copula Leopoldius signatus! The Theca is very small and does barely protrude from the abdomen. With brevirostris the Theca is much larger and does protrude, see: https://www.googl...H3Tw0TjRZ7 Kind regards, Ectemnius Edited by Ectemnius on 26-09-2020 08:20 |
