Hi,
In a Berlin wood I saw several individuals of this Rhagionid species today. Can it be identified?
Thanks for help, Sundew

Looks like tringarius, but it is from May, so...


Rh. annulatus (it keys out as well, don't worry).

In NL pretty rare in deciduous forests

Interesting indeed! I thought R. tringarius had round black spots on the upper abdominal segments, or is that only true for males?
