Very distinctive across the whole palearctic - there's very little that looks like
Prosina siberita :) They seem to be having a good year here too on some of my local reserves.

If I did not once see it in the nature, I do not recognize them;).
Thank Chris

Well, there is Rhamphina in the mountains,
but this is Prosena

Yes, except the
Rhamphina I saw in the Pyrennes were like big, black
Eurithia sp. with a long proboscis that hinged under the body so they were very easy to spot :) Quite a nice surprise when I got them home and discovered that they weren't
Eurithia though! :D

Same here.
I only discovered Rhamphina while extending its legs, it had 3 + 4 legs ???? actually more like 3 + 3 plus a long proboscis. Big surprise

I must tell that I had the same impression, Theo. is this a leg or proboscis? :) A very nice surprise, indeed!
