Hi

Switzerland, 31.07.2010, 410 msm, near lake zurich, small bond beside

The pics are in original a little bit darker. To see the details better, the pics are "brighten". Please ask for more detail if needed. Could it be male and female same species?

1 to 3: female?
4 to 6: male?

Thanks! Best regards, Brigitte

Hi Chris

Thanks! for gymnosoma too!

So more questions: if this one on the pic - which I thought - is P.hemiptera, male too: are they so diffrent in form and colour? Or is the first male "an older" one?

This pic is from: Switzerland, highmoor, about 960 msm, 18.07.2010

Kind regards, Brigitte
