Hello!

Normally Phasia hemiptera has orange hairs at the thorax sides, this female has ivory coloured. Nevertheless P. hemiptera? About 7-8 mm, on Viburnum opulus at a hedge, northwest Germany.

It's a female Phasia but I'm not sure which species it might be :)

Thanks, Chris! The only Phasias I know from here in this size category are P. hemiptera and aurigera. The latter I would exclude, but it also did not look typical for the first.
