Hello,
I think this is Mydaea, could it be M. ancilla? 21st May 2010, my garden near Lincoln UK.
2 pics. Thanks!
Janet :)

This is not
Mydaea. I think it is a female of
Phaonia serva.

Than you Stephane. How certain is it, enough to put in the gallery? I can crop any parts closer if you need to see them better.

Not 100 % sure for the moment. The hind legs and the frons could be helpful...

Hind legs are only waht I have in the two pics above but I've cropped them down..
Frons, lightened a little..

These additional pictures don't help, sorry. In another hand, I don't know what it could be else.

I have been looking around, I think it has to be P. serva from what I've read on here and seeing other photos, there's several angles on
this site even though it's a male all matches nicely.
I feel confidant you have got it right Stephane! :)
